After breaking almost uncounted iphone usb cables!! I designed this using Fusion 360 to save my newly purchased charging cables.

Notes:-
Scale the design by x1.1 if you find difficulty in fitting.
I haven’t tried printing it with different materials, specially flexible material like ninjaflex. Keep me posted if anyone prints it in different material.
If you want to update or modify the design then I wont mind sharing the original .f3d files, ping me if you need it.
I would be more than happy if you share this design within your network so that more people can 3D Print it and save their charging cables.
