The Stable Cable is a protective casing designed to protect charging cables for mobile phones, computers, and electrical devices. This casing is made out of heat shrink polyolefin plastic tubing with 3D printed ABS plastic filament under it. The heat shrink tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio, and it is shrunk over the 3D printed plastic. It prevents their deterioration, specifically preventing fraying at either end of the cable where the flexible wire meets the rigid end pieces. The Stable Cable also allows people to identify their cable from many nearly identical charging cables. Users can customize their protectors to their own individual preference using 3D printed icons or lettering under the casing. Our product is made up of heat shrink tubing which is what provides the seal and prevents fraying. The 3D printed parts offer customization and some support to the charging cable. The icon also prevents the tubing from slipping off. Our solution saves the user money, frustration and helps them with identification.
