Rostock Max v3 Whip Clip Retainer

thingiverse

Hello all, Here is a mod I developed to hold the Rostock Max v3 Whip Clip to the HE 280 Hot end from SeeMeCnc. After 1.5 years of printing, this has become a recurring issue - the whip plug starts to work its way out of the hot end on lengthy prints, resulting in erratic heater readings to the mainboard/software and ultimately failed prints. I saw other clips online and made mine slightly higher, adding three-eighths inch weatherstripping as a cushion to hold the clip in place. Why? You don't want a rigid PCB connection held tightly on a moving/vibrating PCB, which may eventually crack the PCB. Happy Printing!
