Anet A6 Extruder Cable Support

thingiverse

This is an extruder cable support for the 3D Printer Anet A6. I designed it when I realized that my cable trunking always get caught in the way of the end stop limit switch of the X axis. So to bypass this, I made a support piece that will elevate the cable trunking whilst not obstructing the feeding of the filament as well as the threaded rods. It works well now! PLEASE REMEMBER TO PRINT IN THE ORIENTATION FOLLOWING THE PHOTOS. Print Settings Printer: Anet A6 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.4mm, 0.2mm/layer height Infill: 10-15% Notes: Material is PLA, 175mm Working Temperatures: Extruder 210°C, Heated Bed: 55°C Using Cura 15: with rafting and support it will take 1Hour 32Mins and about 3.5M of filament weighing about 10g. Post-Printing Mounting Instructions to the Printer Once finished printing, it should look like this with the supports added and rafting. Remove the rafts and the support. Apply a layer of sponged double sided tape on the 'legs' of the support. (I used VHB tape from 3M.) Clean up the surface with IPA for good adhesion. Stick the support in this direction as shown. The legs should be on the fan's cage as well as the front of the Extruder motor. Place the Cable trunking (near the Y-Fork) on top of the support piece. Then secure it with a cable tie that loops over the trunking and support. And you are done! You are ready to go about printing!
