EleksMaker A3 Pro - Cable Support for Laser Carriage

thingiverse

This is my first modification for the EleksMaker A3 Pro. I know that there are already several cable supports on Thingiverse, but most of them seem clunky to me. On the other hand, I enjoy doing things myself. So this cable support is easy to print, simple to mount, yet provides all the strength needed to hold the cables in place. Furthermore, you can secure the cables with a zip tie and remove them without having to disassemble the entire construction. Without this cable support, all the work of holding the cables above the work area is provided by the cable connecting to the laser module. This puts a lot of stress on the little connector and could damage it in a short term. Now you can unplug your laser module for maintenance purposes like movement testing without having loose cables hanging into your work area. *** Here's how this cable support is assembled and what the result looks like: https://youtu.be/_2ki8ZPhLPE Your opinion on this design and suggestions to make it even better are welcome. *** If you're interested in buying this laser engraver, please consider using one of the following links.
