Anet A8 Hotend Cables Support

thingiverse

My first attempt at a contribution. Designed to hold the power and thermistor wires securely to the hotend/extruder assembly. I was worried they may snag on something and fall out. The way I assembled my A8, I didn't have anywhere else suitable to zip tie them to and I wasn't happy with the sticky pad as it kept lifting when hot (although it probably would have been OK). Attaches to 2 existing, vacant, threaded holes on the back of the plate with short M3 screws. Could also be zip tied. Very much work in progress. Seems to do the trick. Needs to be printed standing up for best results. I couldn't figure out how to save it that way in Cura, so needs to be rotated. Sketchup files attached. Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: Low Quality 0.15mm Infill: 20% Notes: There are some minor overhangs so best printed standing up. I guess you could use supports, I've never tried them but it printed fine without them.
