The original brackets for the Ender 6 printer can pinch the 16mm cable duct that connects the hotend and connector. These improved cable brackets are designed to provide an optimal solution that ensures your cables and wiring move freely and effortlessly.
With a focus on functional stability, these brackets help minimise potential problems such as filament stops by keeping the Bowden tube properly aligned. The design takes into account the centre of gravity and reduces unwanted movement, which can contribute to a more consistent print quality. The brackets are easily mounted on the printer's metal frame with the same bolts as the original, and a smart edge in the conduit holder allows the cable duct to rotate freely, reducing the load on the printer's motors.
For best durability and performance, especially in a closed print environment, it is recommended to print these brackets in a heat-resistant material such as ABS. This ensures that the brackets retain their shape and function even at temperatures around 50°C, where materials such as PLA may otherwise deform.
