Heated Bed Cabling Strain Relief

thingiverse

This is a remix of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1387821/#remixes. I was tired of having to re-solder the wires to my heated bed after them coming loose, and after the 4th time of it, I figured there had to be something better. I found the piece made by Antscran which looked awesome, but didn't quite fit my bed, plus I didn't really want to take anything apart to solve this problem. So I took his idea and parsed it down and came up with this. It's probably no where near as sturdy, but so far it's been great for me so far and just slipped right onto one of the bars on the bottom side of the bed, and just needed to be all the way to the side to avoid hitting the Y-axis motor. A couple of zip ties on top keeps the wires in place and puts the straight back and away from the connection. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: I had to do just a little sanding afterwards to get the notches in the top piece to fit correctly. Probably unnecessary, but I figured they'd provide a little more support and keep it from sliding side to side.
