Ender 3 Pro Cable Channel Protective Cover (control box cables channel cover)

This is a protective cover/channel for the cable entry to the mainboard on the Ender3 Pro. Just like on the Ender3, Creality cut a channel in the extrusion to pass the cables through, and it can have very sharp edges. This thing seeks to cover this area to keep things from getting snagged or worse.  This is a print/use at your own risk design.

To install it, an M3 T-nut and M3x10mm screw and washer will be needed. See the pics for an idea of what it does and where it is installed.

This was designed for a hole that is 25x14.5mm and the channel extends approximately 41mm into the channel.

This part is not oriented for printing.

The idea to put a guard over the cut on the original Ender3 was originally somebody else's (thanks to ilya_staryuk and Supavitax on Thingiverse and possibly others), so all credit for the idea goes to those folks, I'm happy to contribute with this design though.

Thanks for looking, and if you like this thing, please like it or download it (which helps to get me closer to my first free spool of Prusament).  Or you can check out my site, to see what other projects are in the works.

The STEP file is included for easy remixing.
