Description
I have noticed that flat extruder cable on my Flashforge Guider 2s getting scratches on metal part of the gantry when it moves close to the left side. On some occasions (when the head moves to upper left corner), cable can be twisted in a way it been placed horizontally and meet the fan impeller, blocking heads movement to the left.
After I was needed to change this cable due to damage, I decided to make a shield which will protect cable from friction on metal part and will lift the cable to avoid its kinking and bending. After several iterations of tests, I got the model which I am happy with.
Here are 2 slightly different models (the only difference is height of the deflecting side wing).
This one is made of FF PETG Pro. Works fine during last year on my Guider 2s.
