CELUST–001 / First product

A small clip.
A real installation problem.

We’re developing a clip to hold cables and conduit in wall chases before plastering. The project is at the concept stage — geometry, dimensions and performance are still to be established.

The brief

What we’re trying
to solve.

Cables and conduit need to stay in position while a wall chase is prepared and plastered. We want to explore a compact retaining clip that is straightforward to install and adjust.

The design must account for uneven grooves, contact with insulation and the way the part holds its position over time. We haven’t established a supported size range yet.

Questions before specifications

Fit comes first.

A neat model is only a starting point. We need to understand how it behaves in real wall materials and during plastering.

Development priorities

The first questions.

Will it stay in place?

Measure retention after installation and again over time.

How does it meet the cable?

Explore rounded contact surfaces and check for damage to insulation.

Which grooves will it fit?

Start with a measured test setup before expanding the size range.

Can we make it consistently?

Record print orientation, material and dimensions across a small batch.

Current stage

A project, step by step.

01

Define the problem

Current: concept and intended use.

02

Build prototypes

Next: geometry and PETG samples.

03

Test and document

Planned: fit, retention and material checks.

04

Prepare the product

Only after validation and compliance work.

Project FAQ

A few clear answers.

Can I buy the clip yet?

No. The clip is being developed. There is no preorder, confirmed price or launch date.

What material will it use?

PETG is the proposed material for the first FDM prototypes. The final material will depend on testing and the requirements for its intended use.

Which cables, pipes and wall types will it support?

These have not been established. We’ll publish specific, tested applications rather than claim universal compatibility.

Is this a finished product design?

No. The drawing illustrates the wall-chase context. It is not a drawing of a completed or tested Celust clip.

The function we are developing

Keep the conduit
where it needs to be.

The section study shows where conduit sits in a wall chase. Our project explores how to retain it during preparation and plastering. The retaining clip itself has not been designed or tested yet.

Next, we need to establish how a prototype is installed, how it contacts the conduit and how well it stays in place.
