A sleeve that lines a hole drilled through a desk top, with a flange that covers the rough edge of the hole. A slot runs from the middle to the edge, so a cable with its plug already on can be slipped in from the side.
Enter the diameter of the hole as drilled, usually 50, 60 or 80 mm. The clearance is taken off the sleeve so it slides in; 0.3 to 0.5 mm suits most printers, less for a press fit. The sleeve length is how deep it reaches into the hole, which can be less than the desk is thick.
Print it flange down, without supports. The slot makes it a C shape, so it squeezes a little as it goes in and stays put.
