Valve Index Cable Strain relief

thingiverse

I recently noticed a kink forming on my index cable right at the original cable clip on the rear left side, as shown in the second picture. To prevent this issue from arising again, I sought out a solution that would help avoid it altogether. One welcome benefit is that the cable now emerges directly behind me, reducing the likelihood of stepping on it while moving side to side. My design was based on a part created by Reddit user Aquacide and featured channels for the cable and cable ties. I incorporated these channels into my own design to ensure seamless assembly. Assembling this accessory is straightforward. Simply slide it over the top Index strap, insert cable ties into the channels on the sides, wrap the cable as shown in the first image, and tighten down the cable ties. I utilized cable ties that came with my Prusa MK3S, which have the following dimensions: 165mm long, 2.5mm wide, and 1.25mm thick. Changelog: v3: I thickened the part holding the cable and cable ties together by 1mm. v2: original release
