Thanks so much for the positive feedback on my last post! I received a few questions about the inner workings and how everything comes together, so I wanted to make a separate post to clear the picture. Let me know if you have any feedback or different ideas!

Here is the exact breakdown of how it works:

1. I designed this exact layout from scratch specifically for my own personal desk setup.
2. It took me a few iterations to make all the parts work together. I 3D printed some parts to test the fit before sending the design to a workshop to have the aluminum parts made.
3. This is a spring-loaded clip used to clamp onto the rail. It took me around 8 iterations to get the fitting right. This black clip was printed using an MJF printer.
4. The rail features an integrated channel for cable routing.
5. Each holder features a cut-out to secure the charging cable and keep the desk organized.
6. When you put everything together, you get a desk shelf that hides every cable at the back while providing storage space in the front.
7. I'm also planning a new design featuring a walnut top with copper or brass legs, matched with black accessories and a black rail. What do you think?

Parts

desk top: solid oak wood

accessary: anodized aluminium

rail: aluminium

inlay: silicon mat

power strip: tailor made PDU

 

Hey everyone,

A while back I shared my custom desk shelf design here, and while the shelf itself worked great, the cable clutter from my daily gear was still driving me absolutely crazy.

So I went back to the drawing board and designed these accessory that slots right onto the shelf's aluminum rail.
