Design Concept To fix a Problem with FDM Printer Design

I noticed the cable loom on my Creality Hi has significant wear from rubbing against the print bed carriage to the point that it is actually sawing into the aluminum. I posted to see if this was common and had a fix. This is what I came up with to eliminate the friction. The J-Hook is held by a Spool holder that supports the cable loom above the carriage where is can swing freely. The added M5 bolt may be overkill (and I don't think it's necessary), but I wanted avoid any other issues. Its robust design is connected with simple wire to an hook allows easy attachment and assures the stability of cable bundles.

Usage

This is to extend the life of your bed slinger printers and save money on replacement parts. Ideal for use in workshops or home setups to streamline messy cables and align them neatly. This holder is perfect for keeping areas organized and clutter-free, enhancing both efficiency and safety.

Printing Suggestions

Use a material like PLA or PETG for enhanced strength, and opt for high infill rates for durability. Supports are recommended during printing to achieve the best overhangs.

Assembly Instructions

Simply attach the J-hook to the spool holder by wire, ensuring secure fastening. Ensure cables are properly wound and placed within the spool area.
