Ball jointed cable management for Prusa MK2S/Zaribo heated bed

thingiverse

This is a versatile cable management system designed specifically for heated beds on Prusa i3 MK2s and Zaribo 3D Printers. Note that the MK2S adaptor is currently under development, making this system exclusively compatible with the Zaribo printer at present. For more information about Zaribo, click here - http://zaribo.org The same system will soon be available for extruder and Z motor cables. This cable management system consists of three main components: 1. The heatbed cover, which is comprised of two pieces that require a 12mm M3 screw for assembly. You can reuse the hex nut from the existing heatbed cover or substitute it with a new one. Additionally, you will need to remove the heatbed cable connectors as they won't fit through the ball joints. These are easy to attach and detach. To print these components, follow the orientation specified in the supplied STL files and use medium-density support for a superior finish. Note that these parts require support during printing. 2. Ball Joints - Approximately 15 of these will be necessary for the Zaribo setup, but this number may vary depending on cable length. These parts are printed using Spiralise or Vase mode without any top or bottom layers. We recommend printing them with PETG to provide a bit of flexibility. 3. The Rambo Box Adaptor - Zaribo - This component is similar to the ball joints but has a straight end that fits over the existing Rambo connection, providing a snug fit. When assembling the ball joints, they should have a loose fit when pushed together, but not so loose that they fall apart. TIPS: To thread wires through the ball joints more efficiently, divide the cables into segments and then connect them afterwards.
