A8 Anet Hot Bed Cable holder (Strain relief)

thingiverse

A cable management solution for the Heat Bed of the Anet A8 3D printer has been designed to keep cables organized and out of the way. This design attaches directly to the springs of the heat bed, preventing interference with the nozzle, especially when using an auto level sensor. Unlike other designs, this one remains cool to the touch since it is not heated by the plate. Installation involves simply clipping the cable holder onto the spring. However, be aware that the clip can be quite tight! In some cases, you may need to remove the spring from the plate before attaching the clips to the bracket. Once they are securely attached, reattach the springs to their original position using screws. After making this modification, the springs will still function properly, but with reduced travel distance. As a result, it's essential to level your bed as high as possible to ensure optimal performance and prevent any issues during printing.
