Ender 5 Plus Bowden & Cable Support

Ender 5 Plus Bowden tube & cable guide =============================== I was frustrated and annoyed because of the inconsistend layer print behavior which lead to bad looking surfaces. I managed to find out, that this was related to the non-existing bowden guiding. The bowden tube and the wires were hanging sloppy and bending to the sides, which caused inconsistent fialment flow. So this bowden and wire guide kit is the result. It was inspired by the Prusa XL Design and uses **a stiff 1.2mm wire** as guide. Fixing or glue is not required for the wire, its tension will keep it in place. My setup works great with four of the cable/bowden fixers and the two mounts. Perhaps you need more or less. NOTE: The wire should be put in place with tension to prevent wobbling or pulling out!! Cable tie size should be like 2,5mm x 100mm. ...files provided in .STL + .3MF file format The installation should be done while the hotend is at the front right corner to ensure that the wiring is done without strain on the farthest position. ### Updates: + 15.12.2021: Added Hotend Mount V2 with small "nipples" at the bottom to make them stay better in place (thx for feedback!) + 12.02.2022: Added new versions of hotend and extruder mount with cone shaped holes for the wire, to keeping it from breaking because of too much moving/bending. ### Please report your experiences with this print in the comments
