Geeetech A10 Strain Relief

thingiverse

Since I've encountered two snapped cables after just a few months of using my A10, I've come to realize how crucial a robust strain relief is for maintaining the integrity of the A10.\r\n\r\nThe LM2596 Buck Converter Enclosure has mounting holes that you can also find on my Thingiverse page. There's another strain relief available for the extruder cable as well. I'm utilizing the buck converter to power the 12V Noctua hotend cooling fan.\r\n\r\nThere are slots in this design that allow you to secure and conceal the cables of the BLTouch and the cooling fan using velcro on the back of the strain relief, which means you'll need to print it with supports.\r\n\r\nUsing this strain relief may cause a slight loss of maximum z-height. Since I rarely print items at extreme heights, this is not a concern for me, and I've already adjusted my Cura settings to 220 mm max z-height. It's likely that you can't even print objects taller than 260 mm with the A10 due to the bowden tube pressing against the upper gantry at that height.
