Ender 3 Cable Channel Protective Cover (control box cables channel cover) 40x20mm - Remix with thicker walls

thingiverse

This is just a re-mix of the original by ilya_staryuk: Also inspired from this cable channel from Supavitax (when I made this remix I forgot I had already seen his design, otherwise I would have just used it, or remixed it with a tab for the screw): This remix is designed to go all the way through the opening, into the controller box. It requires an M4x8mm screw and T-nut to secure it, but you can probably use M3 with a washer or M5 by drilling the hole larger. I have printed this in ABS and it works (no reason it should not work in PLA also). It is a bit difficult to get in there, but I found that removing the connections for the z-stepper helped. I also used a small flat bladed screwdriver to help guide it when it got stuck. Make sure to set up the M4 bolt and nut before installing it or it will be really difficult (I just know). Update 3-3-2020: STEP file is added for easy remixing I also have an Ender3 Pro hole protector which is posted at the link below: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4202535
