Prusa i3MK3S headbed angled cable cover

thingiverse

This is a new design for an angled heatbed cable cover tailored to a Prusa i3MK3S printer. Its predecessors routed cables around the LACK-based enclosure to prevent interference, but this design also helps keep the cable from dragging on the frame. It draws inspiration from \r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2964580 by T1miverse and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2890592 by OakMountain.\r\nAlso built upon is the original Prusa design at \r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118\r\n\r\nHere are the standout features:\r\n1. Slightly longer to provide more interior space for cables, a significant improvement over T1miverse and OakMountain designs which often struggled with crimp connectors on my cables.\r\n2. Clearance for socket head cap screws securing cable connectors just like Timiverse design.\r\n3. An octagonal boss around the screw hole that attaches the cover to the board, similar to OakMountain design, which I found more durable than the smaller boss.\r\n\r\nI also considered \r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3007210 by FlyingProf, but it required contorting cables more than I preferred.\r\nOne photograph shows this design lined up with T1miverse, OakMountain, and FlyingProf, with my design in the middle.
