Pin Cable Clip

A cable clip that goes up on a push pin instead of a screw or a sticky pad. The ring takes a round cable and the plate takes one standard thumbtack, so a charger lead, an ethernet run, a lamp flex or a low-voltage light string goes along a wall in seconds and comes down leaving a pinhole. For a rented wall, a plaster wall nobody is allowed to drill, or a desk edge you do not want to glue.

Amazon sells five hundred nail-in cable clips for four dollars and fifty cents. If you are allowed to hammer a nail into your wall, buy those. This is for the wall where you are not.

The Material

Why it is printed in PETG.

PETG is the workhorse for functional parts. It is tougher than PLA, takes an impact without shattering, resists moisture, and holds up to a wash-down. It is what most brackets, housings and fittings should be printed in.

Choosing the material by price rather than by where the part has to live is the single most common reason a printed part fails in service. It is named on every listing and in every quote for that reason, and if a different material suits your use better we will say so before you pay for the wrong one.

How It Is Made

Printed to order, in New Brunswick.

Nothing here sits on a shelf. Each one is printed when it is ordered, which is why the colour, the size and the material are all still open questions at the point you ask rather than fixed by whatever a warehouse happens to hold.

This one is under an hour on the machine at 3 g of material. There is no tooling cost and no minimum quantity, so a single piece is a normal order. The design is ours, drawn in-house.

Questions

Straight answers.

Can I get the Pin Cable Clip in a different colour?

The colours listed are the ones we hold: White, Black, Grey, Clear. If you want something else, ask. We can usually source a filament for a specific colour, and on a made-to-order part there is no reason not to.

Can you change the size or modify it?

Yes, and that is normal here rather than a special request. Everything is made to order from parametric geometry, so a dimension change is a number, not a redesign. Tell us what has to fit and send a measurement.

How long does it take?

Printing is under an hour on the machine. Add the queue and shipping: most orders leave within two to three business days of you approving the price, and expedited shipping is available when the date is not negotiable.

Do you make things that are not in the shop?

That is most of the work. Broken, discontinued, or never made in the first place. Send a photo of the part or the gap it fills and one rough measurement, and you get a fixed price back within a day, read and answered by a person.
