Printrbot Cable Straps

Printrbot Metal Simple owners can attest to its great performance, but one major issue arises when a cable gets tangled in prints. To resolve this problem, I spent just two minutes designing a ring that fits snugly on the Z axis, utilizing a rubber band to pull the cable up. Coworkers spotted my design and requested it, even suggesting I upload it to Thingiverse. However, I declined, deeming it too trivial; little did I know, people would soon be asking for rubber bands. It seems there's a global shortage of these simple tools - now that's a problem worth solving! To address this, I designed a version specifically for Ninjaflex, which might be more readily available among 3D printing enthusiasts than rubber bands. For those with the Printrbot Metal Simple, you'll need to use the Adafruit adapter (337267) to print this design. Additionally, when using Microsoft Slicer, you must edit the settings in C:/Windows/System32/spooldrivers/x64/3/PB_3DPrinterDeviceConfig.xml. I admit that printing with Ninjaflex can be challenging, so I created a PLAin PLA version as well - it's equally functional and arguably more aesthetically pleasing than its predecessors.
