Background
Like most people, I have dozens of plug-in power supplies (a.k.a. "wall warts") to drive all of my gadgets. Each of them comes with a long lead that gets into a knot and tangles with the wires from everything else in the drawer. I designed this thing to keep the wires tidy - simple as that.
It was originally designed for the standard UK plug pins, but I have attempted to make it suitable for EU and US plugs - I have successfully tried an EU plug, but could only design the US one 'to the specification'. It needs to be tried with a real plug!
The SCAD files
The main file is called *wall_wart_cable_tidy.scad*. This defines the basic reel, and positions the set of holes for the chosen plug.
The plug layout and spacings are defined in *plug_layouts.scad*. Each definition is called by the main file as appropriate. This file needs to be in the same directory as the other files when printing a reel, or testing a layout.
New plug layouts are tested using *plug_
