Description
Non-Mechanical Cable Support / Strain Relief for Heat Bed. Cable Chains are cute but can cause drag and possibly lock up causing undesired print results. I Designed and fitted this for the Tevo Tornado printed in PETG, but should fit the Creality CR-10 and others with a 300x300 or less moving Heat Bed. Im sure this cable support could be adapted for other uses/printers so I am linking the onshape document link below for those that would like to either modify it there or export to whatever you use. there are four files... swivel versions / non-swivel versions with or without glass bed clamps for Anycubic Ultrabase that matchup with the cable support. These may fit other glass plates that are 4mm thick and 305mmx305mm.
The cable support is long. you will need to rotate it 40-45 degrees on the build plate to fit it. prints with no support needed.
Stuff you will need:
1x m5 x 8mm screw and t-nut (or equivalent) to bolt to the frame.
2x 2.5mm width zip ties (or equivalent) to tie cable at each end of track.
Additional for Swivel Version
1x m5 x 16mm screw
2x m5 nuts
1x 5mm washer
