Removes strain from the x-axis motor connector.
As the z-axis does not make fast moves, there is very little strain in the x-axis wire. However, the standard setup bends about the stepper motor connector. This strain relief moves the bend along the wire so it can be better distributed along it's length. Added benefit of better constraining the path of the cable. The strain relief is attached with no modification to the original setup and uses a M3x10 bolt found in the spares bag supplied with the MK3S and does not require a cable tie.
Well worth £0.05 and 25 mins printing.
