Artillery Sidewinder Bed Cable Strain Relief

thingiverse

I've been puzzled by previous strain relief designs for the Artillery Sidewinder bed heater's peculiar dog-leg where the cable attaches. That's why I opted to print Duke_S' robust design from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3869099) - but unfortunately, it introduced a kink in my cable that prevented the bed from moving all the way forward. Determined to find a solution, I created this new design from scratch using Fusion 360. All horizontal dimensions are multiples of 0.5mm, while vertical ones are set at multiples of 0.32mm. For optimal results, printing with a line width of 0.5mm will ensure gap-free walls and a better finish. If time is of the essence, you can still print with a line height of 0.16mm (or 0.32mm if you're in a hurry like I was). Other resolutions are also viable, but the slicer may need to make some compromises. I prefer designing and printing with multiples of 0.5mm because it makes arithmetic much simpler for me. Usually, I design at height multiples of 0.20, but since this is just a tool, I prioritized speed. To ensure durability, I recommend printing with PETG, ABS, or ASA - these materials can withstand the heat near the bed heater. Since I don't have an enclosure for the others, I used PETG instead.
