Model Overview & Print Notes

Miniature replica of a typical cable ramp step protector you would find in factories, warehouses, music festivals, or offices.

 

For use with desktop wires, factory models, dioramas, model train sets, or anywhere you want to recreate the feeling of a well-protected safety-approved cable covering.

Looks good in Matte PLA, and is strong enough to actually step on, if you so desire. It also functions as a fidget toy; it's surprisingly satisfying to open and close the hinge!

 

I spent way too long tweaking the hinge and diamond pattern, so I hope you enjoy it!
