For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.

    I tend to use glass jars for this. They are reusable and recyclable, you can see what’s in them, they protect what’s inside from getting crushed, and they’re free if you repurpose jars that food came in.

      I do this to the point of preferring certain brands of things like pasta sauce and salad dressing because they use continuous thread lids (Mason jar style) instead of lug lids. (The sauce company disclaims against reusing their jars for canning, but I do it anyway and haven’t had a problem yet.)

      I like standardizing on one specific lid type so that I can just throw them in a pile instead of having to keep lids matched with jars, and so that I can use various Mason jar-compatible accessories (e.g. a fermentation lid, an attachment for my vacuum sealer etc.) with them.
