Updated 1/27/17: Now includes support for the round cable shipping with newer headsets.
A simple clip that allows you attach your HTC Vive’s headset cable to your waist band or belt. This makes the headset much more comfortable, since the bulk of the cable weight and movement drag is transferred from your head to your waist.

Post-Printing
Simply slide the ‘CableHolder’ into the ‘BeltClip’ slot and your good to go.
To figure out where to attach the CableHolder part to the Vive’s Headset Cable:
Put on the Vive headset as you normally wear it.
Bend over so you’re touching the floor (this will let you know how much cable slack you need).
While your bent over, note where the cable is touching your waist while hanging down the middle of your back.
Slide the Vive’s headset cable into your printed CableHolder part – about an inch below the area you marked in step 3. Note that a friction fit should be sufficient to hold the part in place!
With a little coaxing, the CableHolder part should slide in and out of the BeltClip part… It was designed this way so that you can attach multiple CableHolder parts to the Vive’s cable (for different sized users) while sharing the same printed BeltClip
