Cable Bridge

thingiverse

I recently constructed and mounted a heated build platform onto my Makerbot. The cables connecting the platform to the extruder controller were dangling over the Z-axis belt, causing potential damage. To solve this issue, I designed a part that attaches to the top of the 'Bot, keeping the cables securely in place. This modification is crucial for maintaining the functionality and longevity of the Makerbot. To fabricate this part, I utilized my Makerbot with standard settings. Secure the part using screws, although glue or velcro could also be employed. Note that drilling may be necessary if additional screw holes are required. This version is a refined iteration, as the previous one generated incomplete .gcode files when used with Skeinforge. However, on my computer, Skeinfox (Mac) worked flawlessly. The updated design features reworked geometry, ensuring successful .gcode file generation with Skeinforge.
