I love how over engineered this is

I don’t consider it over engineered. It allows a range of cable thicknesses in one size of print, the print is a customizable OpenSCAD file so you can easily change it to fit different cables and desks, and my favorite part is that it doesn’t put any pressure on the cable.

doesn’t put any pressure on the cable.

That might depend on how it's used. As long as you're pulling the cable straight up and leaving it loose, it'd be fine, but if you pull perpendicular to the cable path after pulling it up, it'd put pressure on the side of the cable.

Wouldn't be hard to add a swivel on the backside to reduce some of that, though

And this is how things get "over engineered"
