Geeetech A10 Strain Relief

thingiverse

Since I experienced two broken cables after a few month of using the A10, I realised how important a solid strain relief is for the A10. There are mounting holes for the LM2596 Buck Converter Enclosure which you can find on my thingiverse too (There is also another strain relief for the extruder cable). I'm using the buck converter for the 12V Noctua hotend cooling fan. There are also some slots to fix and hide the cables of the BLTouch and the cooling fan with velcro on the back of the strain relief (therefor you need to print this strainrelief with supports). With this strain relief you may loose a bit of max z-height. Since I never print such high things, this is not a problem for me and I already set the max z-height in Cura to 220 mm. I guess you can't print at a height of 260 mm with the A10 anyway, because the bowden tube is already pressing against the upper gantry at this hight.
