Simagic Alpha Cable Saver

thingiverse

This is actually a Remix, although I could not find the original in Thingiverse so I will be posting the original here for an Simagic Alpha Mini: https://www.printables.com/model/252610 (Credit goes to BobbyThunder, thanks!) That being said, this cable saver just helps both your USB and Power Cord not get moved or bent in the wrong way accidentally. I've recently ran into an issue with my power cord and could not understand what happened to the silver plug (The 2.0 version of the power plug with a single pin). I reached out to a few super helpful folks in an unofficial Simagic Discord and I was directed to the 3D print listed above, however, I have the Alpha Base and the mounting holes are 10mm further apart so I modified it for my base. This also works for the 1.0 power plug with the 4-pin connector. As a matter of fact, the original from the link above was created with that in mind, however, the round plug from the 2.0 version works just fine and very snug as well. Works great so I decided to share it here. Simple to print and uses the 2 bolts that came with your base. Note: The original USB cable I received with my base had a quite large grip at the end so it would not fit in the proper orientation. I used a different USB cable with a smaller end footprint and works perfectly.
