Made a aviator cable mount to keep my coils alligned (lemmy.today)

My coiled cable likes to rotate which makes the coil messy. This little 3d print I made keeps it nice and tidy. Hope it helps anyone with similar issues. You can find the files here: https://www.printables.com/model/433584-coiled-cable-lockaligner

And this is one of the reasons why I don't like 'em. They're way too overengineered, IMO. Which is weird because so many mk enthusiasts prefer minimal setups. In my case for instance, I just have a braided Type-C cable running straight from my board to the back of my desk. Just a simple, straight line. Easy to connect/disconnect/clean/maintain/replace. Minimal. I personally don't see why/how an aviator cable could improve either the aesthetics or the functionality. In fact, I can only think of downsides.
