RepRapPro Ormerod 2 bed cable suspension
Description
This Is An Add-On For Reprappro'S Ormerod 2 Printer. The Bed Cable On One Of The Two Ormerods That I Operate Would Get Dragged Across And Into The Depression On The Right Y-Plate As The Bed Would Move Back And Forth During A Print. This Would Make Me Paranoid About The Cable Getting Bent And Jammed Underneath The Bed Or Getting Caught In The Y-Axis Motor, Causing A Mess And A Failed Print. Oddly Enough, This Wasn'T Happening On The Second Ormerod: This One Had A Less Floppy Bed Cable Shielding Which Kept The Cable Away From The Motor And The Y End Plate Because Of Its Springiness. Anyway, The Present Thing Attaches To The Ormerod 2'S Psu Housing <I>Via</I> The Same Bolt That Screws The Acrylic Brace To It (See Pictures). You'Ll Also Need A Soft Spring And A Cable Tie. The Complete Assembly Keeps The Bed Cable Away From The Motor And Potential Snagging Under The Heated Bed (See Pictures).
