Simple Cord Relief for Heat Bed Connector on Tevo Tarantula The standard connection procedure for the heat bed on the Tevo Tarantula involves a somewhat awkward assembly of wires. However, there is an easy solution to make this process more manageable: create a cord relief for the heat bed connector. This modification does not require any advanced tools or knowledge of electronics. It's a straightforward DIY project that can be completed in just a few minutes with basic materials like wire and electrical tape. The resulting assembly will be neater, easier to handle, and less prone to accidental disconnection during printing operations. To create this simple cord relief: 1. First, take the heat bed connector and gently pull it away from its original position on the Tevo Tarantula's control board. 2. Next, locate a length of wire that matches or closely resembles the color of the heat bed connector. This will provide visual consistency to your assembly and prevent accidental disconnection during printing operations. 3. Carefully wrap the wire around the heat bed connector in such a way that it covers about half of its circumference. Make sure not to cover any electrical connections. 4. Secure the wrapped wire with a small piece of electrical tape, making sure it's tightly fastened but doesn't obstruct any ports or sensors on the control board. 5. Finally, reattach the heat bed connector to its original position, ensuring that the cord relief is securely in place and won't come loose during printing operations. This simple modification will greatly improve the overall user experience with your Tevo Tarantula by reducing stress and making it easier to manage cables during print jobs. It's a small but effective upgrade that can make a big difference in your 3D printing workflow.
