You worked hard on your 3D Printer, CNC Mill or Laser Cutter and you want it to look good. You know that you can route the cabling through the extrusion slots and use covers, but the cable bundle looks a mess or could use some strain relief.
Use these parametric cable covers to tidy up your project and add strain relief for the cables. The original was limited to 16mm cable bundle for a Felix 3.0 printer. We've updated and coded it for many popular sizes (10, 15, 20, 30 and 40mm) and extrusion brands (OpenBeam, MakerBeam, MiSumi, AluTP, and what ever FelixRobotics uses). We also coded the object so you can specify any cable bundle diameter.
To use just download, or better yet open in customizer, and edit. Simply select one of the popular OpenBeam, MakerBeam, MiSumi, AluTP and even Felix Printer extrusion types. Then specify the cover body length, cable bundle diameter, and relief orientation. You can leave the rest at the defaults if you really want to get in and get making.
You can optionally change the tab gap finishing (square, circular, wedge, solid, or solid with cutout - aka fishtail).
You can also edit some advanced options for even finer control over the tabs and wall thickness, but it's strictly not necessary.
This is a brand new thing, and the list of extrusion types is not complete. If you message us, we can add your extrusion type to this thing.
