AnyCubic Predator (D) Extruder Stabilization straps

How to turn your Flying Extruder into a floating one, basic design they add much needed backtension to the extruder springs, i tested many variations and settled with these they stop most of the violent shaking and dont add much stress to the poor belts. The tensioners should slide freely over springs. you will need to print 3 straps and 6 tensioners. they connect at the 2 extruder spring mounting points over top of the springs. the mounting hole designed closest to the edge of the strap was built for the tower side to allow space for home sequence. To add extra tension slide the 2 tensioners towards the center of the strap I shortened my rear spring by 2 inches to allow better alignment as my extruder always sat further forward rather than over top of the effector. I made with TPU 50% infill for the straps the more infill the stiffer the results . The TPU I am using seems perfect but it's also the only flexible material I have tested for the straps, please if you vary materials post your results to help others find what works best thanks! https://youtu.be/y8nGHg4_6WE
