Similar to other users, I started having problem with the extruder cable connection. The cable did not come off but extruder temperature started becoming unstable, especially when printing wider objects.
The temperature was fluctuating between 200 C - 230 C although I set it to 240 C. After doing some research and my attempts to reduce cable movement at the connector (even holding it by hand was fixing the issue), I realized that cable movement at the connection point was the issue. One other improvement I wanted to make was to make the cable stand horizontally so that the cable would not reduce the maximum height when printing tall objects. That is when I decided to design this one.
I printed the final design in the photos with ABS after 6 iterations as you can see in the last photo.

Note: Unfortunately this doesn't fit the latest model of this printer.
