U2 Bowden to Mesh Cable Clip

youmagine

I replaced the black plastic mesh and black shrink tubing around the cables going to my Ultimaker 2 hot end gantry with white versions of both, giving me a fresh new look. Now that I had all that white goodness, those original black bowden-to-mesh-cable clips stood out like an eyesore! Measuring one, modeling it in Sketchup and it came out perfect! Now you can have any color/material you like for your clips.I printed mine with Faberdashery's Architect's Stone. The color blends nicely with the slightly different shades of white of the other materials. I love the color of that filament! I should have taken a close-up photo of a print that came out much nicer. The first image above is flipped upside down, and wow!, my first layer was pretty under-extruded!Anyway, the two open circles 'snap' onto the bowden tube just as tightly as the original. I'm very happy with my first YouMagine contribution, it's a game-changer!Update: Having an enclosed print area is bad for PLA parts, and the ambient temps when printing ABS are too high - the clips all melted. I have since reprinted them in ABS, and everything is fine.
