Strong cable clip for IKEA Kallax, Besta, and others

I tried similar models from printables.com, but they all had bad tolerances or weak grip strength, so I designed my own.

In the second photo, I stacked 200g worth of stuff on the clip and it didn't move. Without needing tape for extra friction.

Models

STL files come pre-generated for two cable diameters (5mm and 11mm). There are variants for the following shelves (shelf thickness in parentheses):

IKEA Kallax inner shelves (16.2mm)
IKEA Kallax outer walls (37.2mm)
IKEA Besta shelves and outer walls (18.35mm)
IKEA Besta top shelf (30.7mm)
IKEA Besta center wall (37.7mm)
IKEA Ivar shelves (18.0mm)
IKEA Ivar side unit, front-mounted (44.2mm)
IKEA Ivar side unit, side-mounted (32.0mm)
IKEA Lack desk and legs (50.25mm)
generic shelves (18.35mm)
- this size fits IKEA Metod shelves and some of my non-IKEA branded shelves, so chances are that it will fit for many others too

Shown in the third photo: Kallax inner for 5mm cable diameter, Kallax inner for 11mm cable diameter, and Kallax outer for 11mm diameter.

Print Settings

printer: Prusa Mini+
filament: the photos show Prusament PLA Orange
- PLA or PETG print will lose clamping strength over time. TPU is probably a better choice for this model.
print settings: 0.2mm, no supports

Customization

Custom shelf thicknesses, larger cable diameters, and more can be configured via the OpenSCAD source files, located at: https://github.com/mbugert/openscad-projects/tree/main/shelf_cable_clip
