Orbiter 2/XOL Extra Rigid Strain Relief/Cable Mount

My trident currently runs the XOL toolhead with an Orbiter 2 extruder. There are many mounts out there on the orbiter to run toolhead boards, but I don't run one. I also found most of the mounts to be flimsy because it only is held on by the two bolts on the rear of the Orbiter. I designed a mount that utilizes a third mounting point on the rear of the XOL carriage. I designed it to fit a PTFE tube, which I use as a guide to wrap all my wires around. It seems to help a bit with cable flop. I also ran my endstop cable through it so the tube doesn't buckle randomly, but you could probably run some filament through it for the same effect.

I also made a few other XOL cable holders that can be found here:

• Orbiter 2/XOL Rigid Strain Relief/XOL PCB Mount (coming soon)
• Orbiter 2 Drag Chain Mount (coming soon)

Recommended hardware:

x2 - M3 x 8mm Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS)

x1 - M3 x 10m Socket Head Cap Screw (SHCS)

x2 - M3 x 20mm Hex Standoff

x6 - Small Zip Ties

x1 - Standard Printer PTFE Tube

Instructions:

1. Print the models O.o
2. Mount the M3 x 20mm Standoffs to the rear of the Orbiter (off the extra length of the motor screws)
3. Pre-load your cable mount with small zip ties. I recommend you have it so the two ends of the zip ties point towards the rear of the printer
4. Run the M3 x 10mm SHCS through the bottom hole of the mount
5. Insert the printed spacer through the M3 x 10mm SHCS
6. Bolt the cable mount to the XOL toolhead with the M3 x 8 & 10mm bolts
7. Insert your strain relief PTFE tube through the top
8. Run your wires and use the pre-loaded zip ties to secure them
9. Organize your wires and use the two top zip ties to clean everything up
10. Enjoy your hard work :)

Disclaimer: I designed this before the XOL toolhead was updated, so it's not 100% confirmed to work with the new one yet, but it should. If you are running the latest XOL toolhead and it works, please let me know so I can update this.
