Description
I have these inexpensive (you can get them for sub $5 each sometimes on Ali Express) Tuya Zigbee water leak sensors anywhere water could potentially leak inside the house or in the garage. Fishing them back out of places like under the refrigerator, chest freezer, washing machine and dishwasher when they need to be re-paired or for a battery swap can be a bit of a pain. These tethers make it much simpler. The sensor is a snug pressure fit since they are printed in TPU. I made them in 4 different lengths depending on your appliance use case and printer bed size. The XL size can be printed with room to spare diagonally on the bed of an Anycubic Kobra 2 Max or any that have a 400² or larger bed. I printed them in $9 a roll Geeetech TPU on my Anycubic Kobra 2 Max that has a main board swap and runs vanilla Klipper with a .8mm nozzle but any smaller nozzle size will also work.
