I’ve made some simple printed clips that attach to the Aluminum extrusion with a 90 degree twist, and hold the wiring harnesses. Eliminates most of the zip ties and allows for easy removal and reattachment and secure routing. Also it looks a little neater. I’ve also put these files, along with the scad versions, up on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:820557).
I love them! I am constantly swapping out tool heads and wiring harnesses for testing purposes, and have flown through my share of zipties. It is now a thing of the past!
Looks great! I got my TAZ5 about 4 weeks ago, and had just started seeing situations where I needed to re-route the extruder cable while printing very tall items.
This is the perfect solution, I’ve grabbed the files. Thanks!
Added a new variation on this extrusion clip. Now the cable can be secured to the clip with a zip tie run through the body of the clip.
The twist-off version can still be twisted on and off the extrusion with the cable still secured to it.
Printing requires a fairly well tuned machine and slicing profile, as there is an internal slot for the zip tie routing. Tolerances could be opened up in the OpenSCAD file.
