This clip attaches the johnniewhiskey cable chain (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060) securely to the X gantry, providing a versatile and easy-to-use solution for managing cables. The design stands out from other available brackets due to its unique features and simplicity of installation. To attach it, simply wrap the clip around the extruder stepper motor, secure the cable chain in place, and fasten the X cable with a zip tie as it exits the channel. This method allows you to keep your printer's setup intact, without needing to disassemble the extruder or Z rod. A major benefit of this design is that it frees up other commonly used attachment methods for filament guides and other essential components. Additionally, it eliminates the need for supports during printing. Update: The original design proved prone to bending over time, so a revised version was created with improved structural integrity. However, fitting the new clip requires removing the stepper motor, which may also necessitate trimming the last link of the cable chain to ensure a secure fit.
