This strain relief bracket is a practical accessory designed for your Creality CR-10 3D printer. It functions as a robust cable holder that effectively secures the wires to the heated print bed. By stabilising these wires, the risk of them wiggling loose or wearing out as the print bed moves during the printing process is minimised. This is crucial for maintaining a stable connection and extending the life of your printer components, acting as a reliable wire holder.
The bracket is typically mounted on the outermost left screw under the spring, and for optimal access, it may be necessary to remove the glass plate from your print bed. The construction is designed so that it does not come into contact with the hot surface, making it safe to use with common printing materials such as PLA.
Once the bracket is in place, you can easily route the wires towards the print bed to give them adequate slack and then secure them safely with two cable ties. This simple upgrade contributes significantly to the reliability of your Creality CR-10.
Please note that this strain relief bracket is specific to the Creality CR-10 and is not compatible with the CR-10 Mini model. It underscores the product's effectiveness that Creality3D themselves have chosen to include a similar design as standard on their newer printers.
