About Underware 2.0 Cable Management Customizer
Underware began as Hands on Katie's cable management system for hiding cords under a desk, and version 2.0, built with BlackjackDuck, turns it into a set of parametric customizers on MakerWorld. It is one of the most used generators on the site, with well over 200,000 customizations.
You pick a component, such as a straight channel, corner, Y split, diagonal or mitre piece, then set width, height and radius to suit your cable bundle. Channels can mount with threaded snaps into Multiboard, T-screws, magnets, wood screws or adhesive, and there are cable cutouts and item holders for things like mini PCs and USB hubs. Labels can be printed in a second colour, and all parts are designed to print without supports.
The generator is free with a MakerWorld login. It fits anyone tidying a desk or workshop, especially Multiboard users. The authors now point newcomers to Underware for openGrid, a newer one-piece variant, which is worth a look if you have not picked a grid yet.
