LEGO Minifig as Cable Holder: Every Cord is Awesome

Posted on by

Sugru community member 2Spinout came up with a practical use for the claw-like hands of LEGO minifigures. With the help of a LEGO brick and the multipurpose silicone rubber, you can stick a minifig on your desk and use it to hold cables. Lord Business will not be pleased about this.

2Spinout also suggested using different minifigs to tell other people where you are. For instance, you can use a minifig to indicate if you’re on a meeting and a different one to say you’re having lunch. Head to Sugru’s website for more on the hack.

Universal Docking Station Holds All Your Cords

universal docking station Universal Docking Station Holds All Your Cords
Hold all of your cords in one neat place with this Universal Docking and Charging Station. This oak plywood charging station holds up to 8 different cords of varying thicknesses and cable head lengths. It’s an all-in-one cable management system that is not only functional, it looks great. To charge a device, just select the cable and take it out of the undulating slot:

The whole thing measures 7″ by 8″ and is 3/4″ thick with felt feet on the bottom to prevent surface scratching. It almost looks like a ski hill for cables- but your cables have enough fun, they don’t need to go skiing. Uhhm well, that thought went off on an awkward tangent. Regardless, this docking station is simple, looks great, and keeps that tangle of cords nearly aligned.

Smart Guide Cable Management Works Even Inside a Computer

Posted on by

I have to admit that my cable management system is basically non-existent, and the cable squid is set to take over the rest of my apartment if I don’t manage to do something about it soon. Maybe the Smart Guide cable management system could help me out.

Smart Guide was created by Albanian designer Marin Myftiu. His solution addresses many concerns that people have with their bowl of cable spaghetti, and should eradicate at least part of yours. Its modular structure and rainbow color-coding make it pop, and help you keep track of what wire is running where. It will work with cables of virtually any size, shape, or length.

The system can be used for power cable management, PC cables and rack servers, as well as the wiring of a PC. For now, this is a concept, but someone needs to put these into production ASAP.
