Artillery Sidewinder X1 Extruder Cable Strain Relief

thingiverse

Its pretty straightforward- it uses the default mounting holes for the extruder cover. All you need is a pair of M3X40mm hex head screws to cover the additional length required, a pair of M3X16mm hex head screws and a pair of M3 nuts. Lastly, 2 strips of 7mm X 26mm tape- the cloth tape artillery includes in their kit that came with the printer is fine, or you can use duct tape, or electrical tape- this is to create a slight cushion between the clamp section so you dont crush or distort the ribbon.     The List: (1) Strain Relief Parts (2) M3X40mm Hex Head Screws (2) M3X16mm Hex Head Screws (2) M3 Nuts (2) 7mm X 26mm Strips of Tape     Apply the tape to the inner surfaces of the clip. Remove the screws from the extruder cover. Partially assemble the clip by inserting the M3X16mm screws through the small bar and into the clip, and add the nuts. Leave it slightly loose so you can insert the ribbon through it. Insert the ribbon cable through the clip, the extruder cover, and insert it into the connector on the board. Screw the M3X40mm extruder cover screws through the clip, through the extruder cover and tighten on the board. Tighten the M3X16 screws until they are snug. Do not over tighten, just enough to grip the cable.
