VCore3 loom lengths are long and tend to sag. This adds some spring steel into it to give it a perky nature!

edit - updated with the latest version (the original was a modified beta part that was missing the cable tie slots)
edit 2 - I originally made this part much thicker to avoid snapping but i've been asked for a thinner version to allow the use of the original bolt.
Does your VCore-3 fail to stand to attention? Does its droop stop you performing? Well viagra probably isn't the answer but my £5 cable support mod is!
It's a problem all of us that have built a VCore-3 are all too familiar with and the bigger variants suffer even more than the smaller ones. Whilst you could do a massive overhaul and swap to a cable chain solution I believe that there is a simpler way. After a reasonable amount of trial and error, I found that the optimum source of springiness is actually 1mm diameter piano wire. You may think well I've got a 500 so I'll opt for an even thicker gauge but trust me having tried 1. 6mm (with the same mindset) I found that it was too stiff and actually caused a visible twist to the carriage when too close to the back of the printer and snapped my 3d printer cable strain relief!
This is just a minor update to keep up to date with EVA 3 from the original EVA 2 version:
