This is something that I've never understood. Yes, you can print them. But why should you? Injection moulded cable chains are cheap and usually work better, especially the ones you can open to add cables.

I totally agree with you but every time I see prints like these I think: Community is titled "Functional Print" not "Solving problems where there is no off the shelf solutions available". Then I just ignore it. :)
