Electrical tape FTW

Servo motor connectors

When you build your own 3D printer, you end up spending more time fixing it and upgrading it than you do actually making things with it. This is one more addition to that printer.

When I replaced the extruder a few months ago (I recently upgraded the carriage and it’s working great.) I didn’t have a place to mount it, so I taped it to the top of one of the Z axis servos. When that tape melted from the heat of the motors, I replaced the tape. I could continue to do this forever. Or I could make something that won’t melt, and it’ll look nice.

That wasn't so hard...

 

Matching plastic. Fancy.
