I had these cable falling off of my desk when they were no longer attached to the notebook. So I printed a cable mount, which is screwed with a printed screw to the desk.

Actually I just wanted to try out how printing screws work. Choose a coarse screw thread and design the screw to about 90% of the size of the outer thread. You need some tolerance between them, otherwise the screw won't fit.
With a 4.5 mm screw I believe I have reached the limit at which my printer (Anet A8) can print a thread. Bigger sizes worked a lot better.

So this consists of a total of 6 printed parts and 3 M3x8 metal scews.
The printed parts are :
Mount to the table + the big screw to attach it
A plate with the cable holder (this one is screwed with the metal screws to the table mount)
3 printes screws to fasten the cables

It doesn't look nice and I'm not sure whether its gonna last very long, but for now it works.
My table is 22mm thick, for smaller tables you can just put material inbetween, fo
