1. not to be a downer here but this seems like it blocks your view even more.

2. I don’t see how this is any better than not using them,

   1. a picture of a patch with and without the product could be helpful

3. Say ‘Patch Knot’ Hello!

   Combine them with some of these “Splitter Stars” to convert your rack into an exciting Disentanglement Puzzle!

4. Free life hack: use toilet paper rolls instead.

5. cannelloni patch, what next?

6. not everything you 3D print has to be a “new product”

   1. I prefer to cut up a few Velcro cable ties.

      1. yeah velcro works super well and doesn’t block your view much at all!

7. Welcome “Patch Knot”

   Combine it with one of those “Splitter Starts” and convert your rack into the perfect “Disentanglement puzzle”!

8. no LEDs, no buy

9. Ahh c’mon folks stop bashing my idea without trying it. Blimey! It’s a simple thing Geert and myself have come up with to solve a specific task. I tried making cardboard ones and other home made things to realise that a properly made one can really help tidy a Eurorack patch. I’m gong to do a live stream about them soon so come and throw rotten veg at me there.

   1. it looks from the pictures that the cable just go through it? so i guess most of us don’t understand how is that helpful.
      i would recommend you just make a picture of a patch with and without it to show it’s benefit.

   2. I ordered two….so it’s benefits are not lost on me…

   3. I like your Knobotron! Looks cool and feels cool – improoves optics and haptics!
      Great that the Knobs are available in packs specifically for different hardware.

      Could not help joking about the Cableportal tube tho sry …

   4. Fair play to you, Gaz. I think you should flood the eurorack stalls at Superbooth ‘22 with the Cable Portal. I think it might be one of those things that you only appreciate by using them. Tie up anyone who throws rotten veg at you with giant patch cables.

10. more crap on the way

11. I think they look good and could well prove useful.
    Good on people who have a go at making something useful.

12. Gaz recorded a short video to show how they look on his rack, I think this conveys how much they can clean up everything.

    1. oh o.k, finally, cheers geert 🙂

13. what does this do that a 5 cent piece of rope doesnt do? 😉

    1. it moves the clutter in your wallet to your eurorack system 🙂

14. Just watched Gaz talk about this on SonicTalk today. It actually seems pretty helpful.

15. Here’s my issue.. I myself would already be stressed out working with modular so personally I would like if I could follow a cable by touch as well. This product would not allow that unfortunately.

    But Gaz I like you and complaining is easy sooo… here’s my tip that might be useful:
    You got all these different colors, but what I would suggest is to make them also available as fully transparent? This way pipes blocking the view is kept to the bare minimum. 🙂

16. Sometimes I hate this site. You post something and it just doesn’t show up. Please fix that.

    What I wanted to say..

    Tip for Gaz: Offer them fully transparent as well. This way blocking the view is kept to a bare minimum. 🙂

    1. Full transparency in 3D printing with good durability and sturdiness is sadly not really possible yet. We’d have to go to injection molding for that, which requires a huge investment and probably a redesign.

       1. I didn’t knew that. Now I understand why it’s not available (yet).

       2. what a waste of energy and resources. :/

17. I think it can be pretty helpful if you have at least a medium-sized setup. Also, if you have some more permanent patches like clocks, triggers, resets and so on.
