I'm using Starlink with the Ethernet adapter and my own router. The 75' cable that comes with the Starlink kit was (thankfully) long enough but I was left with quite a bit of excess cable. I like to keep things neat so I quickly drew up this caddy that mounts to the wall, holds the ethernet adapter, and lets you wrap excess cable around it. NOTES: In my haste I neglected to add any holes for wall mounting. I just drilled them out and left the model as is in case you prefer to use double-sided tape, or something else.The model can be printed all at once on an i3 but is too big to be printed as one piece. I broke it up into pieces and used threaded inserts and screws to hold it together. You also need to angle the back on the build plate. The screws for the back are M3 x 0.5, 8 mm (https://www.mcmaster.com/90236a120)The screws for the keeper are M3 x 0.5 mm, 22 mm (https://www.mcmaster.com/91290A124)The threaded inserts I used are M3 x 0.5 mm thread, 5.56 mm Installed length (https://www.mcmaster.com/97164a113)5/21/23 - I added larger versions of the wrap parts to accommodate more cable. I also made an alternate version of the back that is thicker in case you want a stiffer back (you could also try increasing the number of perimeters on the back piece). Note that with the thicker back you will need longer M3 screws, probably 16 mm. I printed this at 0.4mm draft, with a 0.6 nozzle, 5% infill with 4 perimeters. No supports. It's a rough design but it works and for a one-off will suffice. I've included the Fusion360 file in case you want to modify the design.
