Cable Raceway V1

implemented unverified

Open U-channel cable raceway: the back screws flat to a wall or desk, cables drop into the slot from above. A constant-section extrusion printed as modeled (back on the bed) — zero overhangs; countersunk screw heads sit below the slot floor so cables never snag.

Built from a real example — orbit to inspect.
