Conduito - Cable Grommet

Everyone is familiar with the various types of cable grommets for furniture panels. With Conduito, you now have the option to use a version specially optimized for 3D printing. By carefully studying existing models, I developed a variant tailored for 3D printing. This design allows you to produce a cable grommet directly with your own 3D printer.

Conduito is available in a wide range of drill diameters, both in metric and imperial units. The available diameters range from 35 mm to 125 mm and from 1 3/8 inches to 4 3/4 inches. Calculating the diameter of the cable grommet is straightforward: drill diameter minus 10 mm (approximately 0.39 inches). The plate thickness should be at least 15 mm (approximately 0.59 inches).

Don't let cable chaos bother you any longer and opt for a solution that is both functional and aesthetic. With Conduito, you bring order and style to your rooms!

Once you've decided on a size for “Conduito”, you'll notice that each size consists of four separate print files. The naming of the files follows a clear scheme: The name starts with “conduito”, followed by the hole size, for example “60”, and then the corresponding unit of measurement, in this case “mm”. This is followed by the specific part designation (e.g. “part-a”) and finally the version of the file (e.g. “v10”).

As an example of a complete set of print files for a 60 mm borehole, the files look as follows:

• 1x conduito-60-mm-part-a-v10.stl
• 1x conduito-60-mm-part-b-v10.stl
• 1x conduito-60-mm-part-c-v10.stl
• 1x conduito-60-mm-part-d-v10.stl

When choosing the right filament, you have a variety of options. Depending on your individual requirements and the desired end result, a particular filament type may be particularly suitable. Here's an overview of the recommended filament types and their advantages:

PLA: This filament is easy to print, environmentally friendly, and offers a good surface quality. It's especially suitable if you value easy processing and a clean print image.

PETG: PETG combines the best properties of PLA and ABS. It's robust, flexible, and resistant to many chemicals. So if you want a model that's both stable and flexible, PETG might be the right choice.

ABS: Known for its high strength and durability, ABS is ideal if you need a model that's particularly resistant to mechanical stresses.

ASA: This filament is UV and weather-resistant, making it ideal for applications exposed to direct sunlight or other weather conditions.

Nylon: Nylon is extremely robust and flexible, making it an excellent choice for models exposed to high stress.

The print settings provided here are designed for a 0.4 mm nozzle and a layer height of 0.2 mm. The settings can be easily found in most common slicing programs like Cura, PrusaSlicer, or BambuStudio/OrcaSlicer.

• Slicer-Unit: metric/mm
• Wall generator: preferably Arachne
• Walls: 3
• Top layers: 5
• Bottom layers: 5
• Infill density: from 20%
• Infill pattern: Any

To achieve a perfect print result, I recommend aligning the components in the slicer exactly as shown in the accompanying illustration. This ensures that each part achieves its optimal shape and stability.

The assembly of Conduito is completed in three clear steps. Follow these instructions to ensure that all parts are correctly and securely mounted:

Step 1:

Take Part B and attach it to the bolt of Part C. Make sure they are correctly aligned.

Step 2:

Now, Part D, the locking ring, comes into play. Place the locking ring on the bolt to fix Part B and Part C together. During this process, it's important to ensure that the raised section of the locking ring sits in the guide of Part B. Placing the locking ring can be a bit cumbersome, so be patient and careful.

Step 3:

After the first three parts are securely connected, insert the assembled unit into Part A.

Congratulations! Your Conduito is now fully assembled and ready for use.
