After switching to the MicroSwiss Direct Drive Extruder plus all-metal hotend, I had two extruder motor cables fail after about a month each…
It turns out that as the hotend moved back and forth on the X-gantry, it was bending the extruder motor cable at the junction, and this was wearing the wires down until they broke.
So I designed this piece that friction-presses onto the back of the extruder motor, and allows you to zip-tie the extruder cable in place, so that it's not bending at the junction.
Print with supports, there will be a thin layer of support under the neck of the part - this was necessary to prevent the part from colliding with the Z-gantry on my printer (Biqu B1).
