This cable relief bracket is designed to improve the safety and durability of your Anet A8 3D printer, specifically for the cable to the heated bed. It helps to minimise stress and strain on the cable, which can reduce the risk of damage and potentially prevent overheating over time. By installing this cable bracket, you ensure a more stable and protected connection.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to print this bracket in a filament that can withstand high temperatures, such as annealed PLA, which can withstand up to 125°C. This ensures that the bracket retains its shape and function, even under the printer's normal operating temperatures.
Installation is straightforward and requires two small zip ties and a grub screw (typically supplied as a spare part for the Anet A8). These components work together to create a secure and reliable attachment to the printer's hot plate. Please note that mounting the bracket may result in a minimal reduction of the available print area.
