Ender Extender / 400XL Heat Bed Wire Guide (v1.1)

Here's a video that explains why I designed this, and shows it being installed and doing what it was intended to do — that is to keep my new heated bed wires from catching on the Y stepper motor during printing.

Also catch this short video on it, as well as installing and commenting on a 410x410mm PEI magnetic flex sheet print bed on my Ender Extender 400XL: 

Ender Extender 400XL Heat Bed Wire Guide (v1.1)

Print details:

• Print as oriented
• Prints without supports
• Can be printed with 0.4 nozzle, recommend at least 3 perimeter walls and around 20% infill or so. I printed with a 0.6 nozzle and still used those settings. Mine is super rigid.
• I used GST3D PLA (black).

If you have an Ender 3 or Ender 3v2 and you have, or plan to do, the Ender Extender upgrade (or 400XL upgrade), you will probably need something like this print. :-)

If you use it, please snap a photo of it and post your make! :-)
