How it works
- step 1
Pick your size
Choose your cable and a standard size, or type in your own measurements. The 3D view updates as you go.
- step 2
Check it in 3D
Turn the model round, cut it away to see inside, or lay the parts out as they print.
- step 3
Download and print
Get a zip with the STLs and a note of your settings. Print notes say which way up. No supports needed.
Every generator runs OpenSCAD in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Each one is a parametric model: a size change is a setting, not a new design.
Questions
Which size winder do I need?
Pick your cable type and each of the 9 sizes shows how much of that cable it holds. As a guide, 1.5m of standard USB fits the smallest, 55 × 25mm.
Do the winders need supports?
No. The body prints floor-down, the hub base-down and the lid top-down, all without supports.
How does the lid stay on?
It clicks over a bead round the top of the body, like a pill box, but still turns. Pins under the lid drop into the hub so lid and hub turn together as a winding handle.
Can I mount the winders on a wall?
Yes. The winder trough holds them on edge in a row and screws to a wall or shelf. Segments clip end to end for a longer run.
Is it free? Do I need to install anything?
It is free and runs in your browser. Each generator runs OpenSCAD locally, so nothing is uploaded and there is nothing to install.

Hi, I'm Will. I make these for jobs around my own house: a gutter that needs a quick fix, or a drawer of cables to tidy. Every part is sized to print on a 220mm bed, like a Creality Ender V3.
