Bed Heater Strain Relief Artillery Sidewinder X1 by Dzinr

Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago

This is a remixed foot to retrofit Skinah's "Artillery Sidewinder X1 ac bed heater strain relief and cable chain" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3863626. While I liked and appreciated Skinah's Cable Chain, I was still getting the major pinch in the cable just outside of the electronic housing when the bed moved all the way forward. This can be seen in the 4th image above. I first tried to add just the arced cover extension to his existing foot. Because the cable is trapped inside the arc, the foot wasn't sitting flat and propped the cable up higher than desired. I also found it easier to incorporate the bottom arc retainer into the foot rather than add additional pieces. The 2 pieces simply snap together.
I recommend snapping this foot to Skinah's Cable Chain first to position it on the cable correctly, then snap over the arced cover. Imperative that you "MUST DO A DRY RUN" and slide the bed all the way forward slowly to make sure there is enough cable length before turning on the printer or using the foot. They seem to skimp on the cable length and if your version of the printer has a shorter cable than mine, it could easily yank the wires out from inside. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! While this works perfectly fine on my machine, there are variations to machines. There seem to be variations on the bed frame dimensions within the X4 version as indicated in Skinah's remixes.
