Printhead Cable Support Bracket

The printhead cable support bracket has been designed for the Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer with a direct drive filament feed mechanism. The direct drive filament feed used on this particular printer is the ENOMAKER Direct Drive Extruder Ender 5 Conversion Kit, which can be found at the following link:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08399KX3X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The part was designed with FreeCAD 0.20.2 and printed on an Ender 5 Pro using 20% infill and 5 layer wall thickness, which gave the part adequate strength.This is a work in progress, as I also need to design a separate part to hold the wire looming away from the x-axis stepper motor; otherwise, the wire looming travels to the front of the stepper motor and interferes with the stepper motor travel. (See the picture of the x-axis stepper motor. The wire looming is secured to the motor bracket with a plastic cable tie.)If you do use the part, I would appreciate feedback concerning fit and fatigue issues. Also, if you intend to install the bracket on your Ender 5 Pro, the easiest method is to remove the y-axis stepper motor and the filament feed bracket. You will also have to back out the topmost fan housing screw. The bracket will just slide in place with a friction fit. The fit around the bushings is approximately 5/100ths of an inch.
