<p><strong>Update:</strong></p><p>Slight change in dimension and design.&nbsp;</p><p>-------------------------------------------</p><p>The X axis motor cable on Prusa is often bent when lowered. The ziptie we are instructed to use doesn't help with the situation. This guard prevents bend cable from happening.</p><p><strong>Instruction:</strong></p><ol><li>Print the two parts</li><li>Put the circular part on the wire</li><li>Put the long part on the motor</li><li>Push the circular part into the long part, the nylon sleeves should be trapped between the two parts</li><li>When done properly the two parts should be very secure, without any use of screw or adhesive.</li></ol><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:95.93%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/82070/rich_content/a95a2238-5547-4a45-9814-e704afa09392/img_20211020_113822.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22b579ccbb-90af-4869-bbb7-d083c154cb18%22%2C%22w%22%3A2000%2C%22h%22%3A1126%7D"></figure><p><strong>Print setting:</strong></p><p>Doesn't matter.
