HEX-01 eurorack cable hanger
Moderators: Kent, luketeaford, Joe., lisa
Any chance you might produce other designs? I just built a couple of wall versions. I CNC'd some .060 aluminum, 'broke' it slightly in a press brake and black matte powder coated them and attached to 3/4" Black walnut. I plan on mounting them soon. If people have the wall space these could be handy and made in different colors and wood types.

Prototype test
I dropped these prototypes off for powder coating, this morning. Should get them back early next week. I wanted to see how they did in the studio first, and shot this quick video. Once I get them back, I'll put together a demonstration video. I'll then be launching the Kickstarter campaign.

Yes, I have these two concepts that I'm working on, so far. Preference?



There's also an optional one, for the desk design as well...

Re: they came!
This first prototype run (in video below), turned out to be the wrong scale. I had a new set cut yesterday. Different manufacturer, much faster, and better quality. When we do the final product, they will be formed with a tool and die. So the bends will be sharper, and the center will be raised.
I was still in the parking lot when I shot this pic. lol

Come to think of it; Tie Fighter would be a good name if not already in use;
the cable hanger fights tied up cables.

Even most eurorack folks might have a couple 1/4" cables for final outputs and possibly a few MIDI cables? And some mobile device headphone and charging cables etc might need a narrower slot then a standard eurorack cable? (not sure, haven't measured)
I'll consider that, thanks!
These look awesome. Any news on when we can order one? I desperately need one!
