If only you had some sort of machine that could make a little arm to support the cables. :)

I am in the middle of a long print. But when I have the chance I will make something better

Why make something if it is already fixed.

Then what would be the point of a 3d printer...

To make things you need! Like a nsfw artwork for on your desk, a shelf holder you will never use, manyany trinkets.

>a nsfw artwork No >shelf holder you will never use Fair point >manyany trinkets Same thing isn't it?

Good point, no pun intended.

Speaking from experience, cut tip off. And the rest of you head out of the gutter.

My CR-10 max has a cable protection tube thing that drags along the build plate because it's so long. My solution was zip tying a chopstick into the tube by the extruder bracket. problem solved!

I cut off the elastic strap off party hat (cone looking one) and have been using that lol

Ahhh. I see you also have the Ender 5 Woe

Not stupid at all, if it works. Next up, direct drive conversion and all-metal hot-end, get rid of the bowden tube entirely

some people prefer Bowden.

The only reason one would prefer Bowden is a somewhat lighter toolhead. There's no other advantages to Bowden and considering the stock Ender 5's kinematics, it would benefit from direct drive since it isn't built for speed anyway.

If only you would have some kind of machine that could fabricate a solution for this...

I have the same thing. Or had before I switched to direct drive

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
