Cable Raceway Cover & Channel System (Parametric)

About this generator

The Cable Raceway Cover & Channel System is a free MakerWorld customizer by Dabo that sizes a two-part cord cover to your own cables. A bottom channel holds the wires and a top piece slides or snaps over it, so you can still get at them later. Ready-to-print 250mm straights come with the model, and its Fusion source files open in MakerWorld's parametric customizer, which has been used nearly 30,000 times.

The main file sets the inside width and height of the channel (6mm minimum, 12 by 8mm by default), the length of each straight run, and optional screw holes with a diameter you pick. Matching T and cross junctions, 45 and 90 degree bends, inner and outer corners and end caps follow the same sizes. Three more customizable files add bends at an angle you enter, dual-size junctions that step down from a wide main run to a narrower branch, and a twist piece that turns the channel a quarter turn.

It is free with a MakerWorld login, but customizing only works on the desktop site and the customized 3MF does not keep the creator's print settings. The designer says it is meant for indoor, low-voltage cords that do not run hot. It suits anyone who wants tidy cable runs along a wall or desk without touching CAD.
