Thanks to 3D Printing and Marbles LLC, Never Injure Yourself with a Cable Tie Again

Marbles, a research and design firm based in Bonita Springs, Florida, specializes in redesigning common, everyday products to make them more ergonomic. One of those everyday products is, yes, the cable tie. Founder and managing partner Will Scott and industrial designer Gihoon Song designed the ties with a simple yet valuable twist – they are releasable. They still provide a strong, secure hold, but when you’re ready to remove them, there’s no need for bloodshed.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
