Wire trap for costmo Brackets (or 20 series extrusions)

thingiverse

This is a wire trap that was designed to be mounted directly on a Nema motor using a versatile costmo Bracket. As I was building a 3D printer prototype, I discovered by accident that it also works exceptionally well on 20 series extrusions (2020, 2040, 2060...).\r\n\r\nIn case you're not aware, a wire trap is a crucial component where wires can be safely secured ("trapped" or "anchored"). It's sometimes referred to as a wiring harness or a wire clamp. Since 3D printers have numerous moving parts, it's essential to secure your wires! Failure to do so leads to various problems - from stuck axis motion to desoldered connections. Using this in conjunction with a costmo Bracket enables you to trap wires anywhere you have a Nema motor. For most users, this means that you can add wire traps exactly where 3D printer wires will move if they're not secured. That's perfect!\r\n\r\nTo use this piece, you'll need to download and print a costmo Bracket from here:\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3851599\r\n\r\nIf you're connecting this to a 20 series extrusion, you won't require the bracket.\r\n\r\nAfter mounting, you'll need either hook and loop (Velcro) or plastic cable ties to secure your wires. I strongly oppose zip ties, so my pictures show only velcro cable ties.\r\n\rncostmo Brackets provide a universal mounting system for 3D printers.
