										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Contain the cables. Keep calm.</strong></p>



<p>Messy power adapters and cable sprawl are one of the fastest ways to make a workspace feel chaotic—especially when that workspace isn’t permanent. The <strong>Logical CableNest</strong> was designed to solve exactly that problem.</p>

<p>CableNest is a <strong>ventilated cable management box</strong> that contains power adapters and cables while keeping them organized, cool, and easy to move. It’s designed to sit neatly behind a computer or notebook screen, but it works just as well anywhere you need to tame cable clutter.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-03-LCN-C-1-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3966" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-03-LCN-C-1-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-03-LCN-C-1-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-03-LCN-C-1-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-03-LCN-C-1.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What It Is</h2>



<p>CableNest is a <strong>100% 3D-printed, snap-together containment box</strong> for power bricks, chargers, and excess cable length. Open hex-pattern walls allow heat to escape while keeping everything visually contained and out of the way.</p>



<p>All CableNest models share the same height and depth, with multiple widths available to suit different setups—from compact laptop workspaces to multi-monitor desks.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-22-Exploded-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3957" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-22-Exploded-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-22-Exploded-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-22-Exploded-768x938.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/60123-22-Exploded.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How It Works</h2>



<p>Power adapters load through the <strong>hinged split top</strong>, cables are routed out either end, and the <strong>ventilated walls allow heat to escape</strong> during use.<br>Once closed, CableNest keeps cables organized, concealed, and accessible when needed.</p>



<p>Because everything is contained in a single unit, the entire setup can be picked up and moved—ideal for shared tables, hot-desking, or temporary workspaces.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">In Use</h2>



<p>Placed behind a monitor or notebook, CableNest largely disappears from view while still keeping power accessible. Opening the top provides immediate access to adapters and cables without unplugging anything.</p>



<p>CableNest is equally at home in:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Shared family workspaces</li>



<li>Home offices</li>



<li>Maker desks</li>



<li>Temporary or mobile setups</li>



<li></li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Modular by Design</h2>



<p>CableNest can be used entirely on its own, or paired with the <strong>optional Logical DeskBox</strong>, which sits neatly on top and adds tool and desk-accessory storage. Together, they form a compact, portable desk system—but each component also works independently.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Assembly &amp; Printing</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>100% 3D printable</li>



<li>Snap-together design</li>



<li>No hardware required</li>



<li>Assembly is identical across all sizes</li>
</ul>



<p>Detailed assembly, disassembly, and usage diagrams are included with the download.</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sizes Available</h2>



<p>CableNest is available in multiple widths, all sharing the same height and depth.<br>Different widths allow you to scale the system based on the number of power adapters and cables in your setup.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><em>Note: Listings show a representative size. Various sizes are available.</em></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why CableNest Exists</h2>



<p>CableNest was designed around a simple idea:<br><strong>power management shouldn’t force you into a permanent desk.</strong></p>



<p>By containing cables in a ventilated, movable box, CableNest helps keep workspaces tidy without sacrificing flexibility.</p>

<p>The hook is rotatable and extends out for use and in for collapsing into the main body.  The two side arm sections also fold into the main body for storage or travel.  </p>

<p>This design uses compliant latches to hold the compartments closed.  I might try to make a combination lock version in the future.  And, a few people have requested a thicker body (bigger storage). </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As anyone who follows me knows, I have a line of faceplate accessories called WallMatePlate that allows you to get extra functionality out of your electrical outlet and wall switch plates.  But I stumbled across this idea on a shopping site and I thought it was quite clever in its simplicity.  So I designed my own.  A simple shelf that attaches to North American-style wall plates to create more storage!!  </p>

<p>It is a super simple 1-piece print.  And, it attaches by simply placing it behind a wall plate.  The existing wall plate screws hold the wall plate and the Mini eShelf in place with considerable strength.  Definitely adequate enough for small electronics or similar.  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_02-Thangs@2x-50-1-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3669" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_02-Thangs@2x-50-1-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_02-Thangs@2x-50-1-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_02-Thangs@2x-50-1-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_02-Thangs@2x-50-1-1259x1536.jpg 1259w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_02-Thangs@2x-50-1.jpg 1574w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>A complication I discovered after designing my first one and getting a few followers to test it was, not all wall plates are the same size.  So I have created a few size variants to hopefully allow it to work for most people.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_03-Thangs@2x-50-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3670" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_03-Thangs@2x-50-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_03-Thangs@2x-50-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_03-Thangs@2x-50-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_03-Thangs@2x-50-1259x1536.jpg 1259w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_03-Thangs@2x-50.jpg 1574w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>On the top back centre of the shelf is a recess (pass through hole) so that electrical wires can be container when using the Mini eShelf for charger or similar activities.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Print Settings</strong></h2>



<p>Functional designs (such as this one) generally require more strength than non-functional designs and more strength than the typical default slicer settings provide, so please review your slicer settings carefully.</p>



<p>This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle and a 0.2mm layer height. For best results, I suggest the following:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_15-Thangs-copy@2x-50-2-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3672" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_15-Thangs-copy@2x-50-2-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_15-Thangs-copy@2x-50-2-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_15-Thangs-copy@2x-50-2-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_15-Thangs-copy@2x-50-2-1258x1536.jpg 1258w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/250906_15-Thangs-copy@2x-50-2.jpg 1573w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Assembly and Installation Notes</strong></p>



<p>No assembly is required.  It is ready to go right off the print plate.  And, installation is a breeze.  Simply unscrew your existing wall plate and then place the Mini eShelf behind it.  Screw the original wall plate back into place.  That&#8217;s it!!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is definitely up there as one of my favourite design projects so far.  It is, like usual, contraption-like in its design and super fun.  And, hey, the 3d printer does not care how complex the print is &#8211; it is just happy printing.  So why not make things more complex and fun like my GearBin?  And, it is super functional bringing a new solution to trash situations.</p>

<p>GearBin<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> is a fully 3D printable mini trash bin with a unique mechanical twist. Designed for use with biodegradable dog waste/poop bags as liners, it’s the ideal solution for food scraps, backyard clean-up, BBQ prep, or anywhere you want a tidy, compact bin that works smarter &#8211; even your desk.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_02-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3463" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_02-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_02-Thangs-50-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_02-Thangs-50-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_02-Thangs-50.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>I chose to use biodegradable dog waste/poop bags for this because they are a fraction of the cost of biodegradable kitchen bags and smaller so you can discard them more frequently at a lower cost. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Our issue is we do not want to waste the more expensive biodegradable kitchen bags so we try to use them for several days.  But by the end of a few days the kitchen waste can start to smell to then you throw it away without filling the bag&#8230;  wasteful.   So back to the small dog poop bags that are much lower cost and the right size for daily discarding.  </p>



<p>The GearBin could be ideal for a wide range of applications including:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Office or desk</li>



<li>Kitchen countertops</li>



<li>Outdoor prep areas and BBQ stations</li>



<li>Composting and daily food waste</li>



<li>Eco-conscious homes using dog poop bags for liners</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_03-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3464" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_03-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_03-Thangs-50-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_03-Thangs-50-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_03-Thangs-50.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>The main features of the design are:</p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Gear-Driven Push Lid:<br>Open the lid with a simple press on the front bar—no electronics, just clean, mechanical magic.</p>

Holds standard dog poop bags securely.</p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 100% Snap-Fit Assembly:<br>No glue, screws, or springs. Just print, snap together, and you&#8217;re ready to go.</p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Optional Bucket Insert:<br>Use with or without a removable bucket insert (included) to catch leaks and assist with liner removal.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_04-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3465" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_04-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_04-Thangs-50-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_04-Thangs-50-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_04-Thangs-50.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>I watched a reel promoting a small garbage bin with a folding frame to make it easier to install the liner bag.  I thought that was a great idea so that is what I did too.  But I made it using a push-push style so you can press it once to collapse the frame and then again to open it once the bag is installed.  And, you can do the same to remove the bag.  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_05-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3467" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_05-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_05-Thangs-50-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_05-Thangs-50-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_05-Thangs-50.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>I have also included a bucket that sits in the GearBin and essentially creates a safe space for the bag.   It makes sure the bag can be pulled out from the GearBin even if it is jam-packed.   And, that in the event the bag breaks or leaks you have a containment system.  But the bucket also means you can use the GearBin without a bag.  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_06-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3468" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_06-Thangs-50-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_06-Thangs-50-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_06-Thangs-50-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/250523_06-Thangs-50.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>I have included some exploded diagrams to help visualize what the GearBin is but to assemble it, you need to watch my instructional video linked at the bottom of this post.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Print Settings</strong></h2>



<p>You can print everything in PLA but you should consider printing the spring components in PETG.  I have identified those in the print settings table below.  </p>



<p>Functional designs (such as this one) generally require more strength than non-functional designs and more strength than the typical default slicer settings provide, so please review your slicer settings carefully.</p>



<p>This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2mm layer height. For best results, I suggest the following:</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Assembly Notes</strong></p>



<p>I have linked my assembly instructional video below, so please check that out.  But also note there are a few pieces of print support to be removed after printing.  </p>



<p>The Lid has a small strip of print support that sits under the print-in-place hinge.  So look for that as you loosen the hinge after printing.  </p>

<p>As well the Bucket has print support on each side to create the handle holes.  Carefully break those free before using.</p>
