Toolhead Cable Management (Patreon)

Last week, my productivity took a hit as I spent most of my time nursing a Covid infection with tea and binge-watching shows. However, by the weekend, I began to feel better and was able to resume work on the printer.

One long-standing task on my to-do list was to develop a holder for managing the toolhead cables. I’m quite proud of the solution I developed: a clip positioned at the front through which all the cables can be threaded. This clip is secured by simply pushing in the Bowden Tube from the right, eliminating the need for any screws while keeping the cables tightly in place.

In addition, I introduced a second holder specifically for the CPAP tube. Previously, the tube would occasionally hit the carriage, particularly at higher speeds, which affected performance—most notably, the Y measurement of the input shaper. With this new design, the recommended input shaper for the Y-axis has improved by 4.5 Hz, translating to an approximate increase in acceleration of 2200 mm/s².

By the way, the part showcased in the video was printed using my upcoming quality profile for the T250.
