CR-10/CR-10S Bed Cable Support by ronthepanman

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Just received my CR-10S a week ago and was concerned the hot bed cable could catch on the rear left portion of the frame. Checked out the various supports for the CR-10/CR-10S hot bed cables and didn't find any that I liked. New to 3D printing and 3D modeling so decided to try and design my own with FreeCAD. A YouTube video on FreeCAD was of immense help. Went through 3 versions (first too short, second didn't have back support and the third which is the current "thing"). Very simple design, no supports required to print, 0.2mm layer height and 20% fill.
I used M4 screws and T-nuts to secure to the frame. The holes in the current design need to be drilled out slightly (if I make any subsequent changes to the design, I'll enlarge the holes slightly).
I have the CR-10S and at some point, I'd like to piggyback on what one poster did with the squash feet and capture layer heights to add the blue racing stripes. Think that would be neat. Would require 4 color transitions (black to blue, blue to black, black to blue and finally blue to black).
Have fun with it and comments welcome!
