Wire trap for costmo Brackets (or 20 series extrusions)
Description
This is a wire trap that was designed to be mounted on a Nema motor using a costmo Bracket. As I was building a prototype 3D printer, I inadvertently discovered that it also works very well on 20 series extrusions (2020, 2040, 2060...). In case you're unaware, a wire trap is a place where you can secure ("trap" or "anchor") wires. It is sometimes referred to as a wiring harness or a wire clamp. Since 3D printers have quite a few moving parts, it is important to trap your wires! Failure to do so causes all sorts of problems - from stuck axis motion to desoldered connections. Using this in conjunction with a costmo Bracket enables you to trap wires anywhere you have a Nema motor. For most people, this means that you can add wire traps in the exact places where 3D printer wires will move if they are not trapped. Perfect! In order to use this piece, you will need to download and print a costmo Bracket from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3851599 If you're connecting this to a 20 series extrusion, you won't need the bracket. After mounting, you will need either hook and loop (Velcro) or plastic cable ties to secure your wires. I am vehemently opposed to zip ties, so my pictures show only velcro cable ties. costmo Brackets provide a universal mounting system for 3D printers.
