Alternative strain relief bracket for Carl's Alu Carriage

thingiverse

This is an improved strain relief bracket designed as a direct replacement for the one that comes with Carl's Alu Carriage, a versatile replacement extruder carriage suitable for various Makerbot-type printers. The original bracket appeared too small to firmly grasp the entire cable bundle going to the extruder, so I created this alternative solution. To use it effectively, simply print out the new bracket and substitute it in place of the one that ships with the Alu Carriage. There are two versions available: a standard model and a variant with a narrower opening specifically designed to provide an even tighter grip on the cable bundle. With the included OpenSCAD file, you can easily customize every aspect of this improved design to meet your unique needs. UPDATE: A newer version (v2) has been added, featuring a groove around its circumference that accommodates a zip tie for extra security. Note that due to its increased height, you may need to use a longer screw to properly anchor it in place.
