Stop the Droop! Long Bowden/Wire Loom lift

thingiverse

On larger printers CR-10, the long bowden tube and wire loom can sag down onto the bed. This issue has a simple solution: print (follow the print instructions) and twist the long piece into the top beam, snapping the retractable tag holder into place. Problem solved. This setup works very well. You might be able to snap it right around your loom without any issues. If not, use two zip ties in a figure-eight configuration: one snugly wrapped around the loom and another through that one, but loose enough for the badge snap to latch onto. This arrangement is very effective and straightforward. For this solution, you can purchase 10 retractable card holders on Amazon for $8, which comes with a pack of 10 identical items. However, if you have a Dollar Tree nearby, it's worth visiting first. Dollar Tree sells the same Jot Retractable Card Holders in packs of three for just $1 each. I personally use these and can attest to their quality.
