Strain Relief for BIQU Partitioned Hot Bed Compatible for Ender 3 B1 Hurakan

Strain relief for the BIQU 235mm*235mm Partitioned Hot Bed Compatible for Ender 3 B1 Hurakan.

I won this heated bed in a give away and wanted to use it for my heavily modified Anet A8 → AM8 → AJ8 → AJ8 2.0 but as a Anet A8 user I am well aware that strain relief for the heated beds on bed slingers is a must. The included cover was actually quite stylish but it did nothing more than cover the solder connectors for the power cables and thermistor cables. Furthermore I have my printer in a IKEA Platsa cabinet so I'm not working with a lot of extra room.

I used the mounting holes for the original cover and found a pair of black m3 screws which fit in the countersunk holes without sticking out (I suggest using m3 screws which actually are countersunk though). To make sure the strain relief cover can be removed if I need to access the solder connectors, I fastned the screws with nuts and then designed the new cover to fit over these nuts. In this way I could attach the magnetic sticker and not worry about the holes being covered.

Anyways, you read this far? It's more of a short story just because I felt like writing out my process, not really neccessary! Here is some more useful information:

Should print fine with supports in the orientation I've uploaded. If your printer is great at bridges it might even print upside down without supports, you know your printer!

Needed hardware:

4x m3 nuts
2x m3 10mm countersunk screws (12mm should work as well)
1x small cable tie

Mounting instructions:

1. Before putting on the magnetic sticker, unscrew the original cable cover
2. Place the two m3 screws through the holes, place the strain relief in its position to make sure the screws are long enough
3. fasten the screws without the strainrelief by screwing on two m3 nuts. Make sure they are tight. Use some loctite if you want, why not? I didn't
4. place the strain relief in it's place and make sure the cable fits
5. screw in the second pair of m3 nuts to fasten the strain relief. (I suppose this could be done by hand or with a small 5,5mm wrench but I used a 5,5mm socket and designed this specifically for a socket to fit)
6. Place the cable tie in the grooves and tighten it
7. Cut off the part of the cable tie YOU don't want!

I suppose this is easiest to do before the bed is mounted to the printer. I didn't and that's why I designed it so a socket would fit! Much easier to assembel.
