FLSUN QQ-S Rod Stabilizer, Cable Router, and Holder of Ceiling Structures

thingiverse

These designs of clamps can be readily and firmly snapped onto the vertical rods of the FLSUN QQ series, all serving as stabilizers while some could assist with the routing of cables (for the filament sensor, the LEDs, etc.). Here is a quick guide about these variants and you could choose whichever fits your purpose: 1. rod-holder-bottom-stabliser.stl: This design is meant to be used at the bottom of the parallel rods to help damp out some vibrations. For each pair of rods, one or two can be used to increase the strength for stabilisation. One picture shows two in position. The effectiveness of these clamps on reducing twist issues has not been tested but you could try stacking several together at the bottom of the rods. When installing these, be careful not to go beyond the height of the lowest possible position of the moving brackets. 2. rod-holder-top-router.stl: This clamp goes on the top of the rods, serving as a stabilizer as well as a router for cables. As a router, it helps hold my cables for the filament sensor and the LED system (see pic). The slopes at both ends are particularly designed to leave room for guiding the cables through. When working with cables, you may want to first remove the metal shield of the rods, snap the holder onto the rods at a position lower than the upper case of the printer, put the cable(s) through the holder, and finally push the holder upwards into the uppermost position along the rods (then put back the shield of course). One holder is enough on the top each rod pair. 3. rod-holder-top-router-extended.stl: This design comes with all the functions as in item 2, with extended arms to help holding whatever structures you plan to have in the ceiling (the pictures actually show an older version without these extended structures but by looking at the stl file and the pictures, you should be able to catch my point here). 4. These clamps are easy to print, install, and remove. I've enjoyed this portability when upgrading my system bit by bit. I've tested these for a few weeks and they've helped dramatically in certain cases.
