Anet A8 bed cable support

thingiverse

I attached my wires directly to the heated bed after the connector failed, but they continued to come loose due to stress. I attempted a cable chain, yet it still caused stress at the end of each movement. Most other solutions required attaching directly to the heated bed or rotating the bed, resulting in clearance issues unless everything was resoldered. I created this design using tinkercad and attached it to the cross brace below the bed. I printed with PETG, but ABS should also work fine. You may be able to use PLA if your bed is insulated on the bottom; a piece of corrugated cardboard works well as insulation. A zip tie around the end is sufficient to stabilize the wires and prevent movement near the connections. This design is long enough that it might work with the connector attached, but I do not have the connector to test.
