As you may know, the cable and filament tube that run to the print head of the A1 Mini can sometimes flop over to the wrong side of the Z-axis tower of the printer. This can cause the print to fail because it limits the forward motion of the print head.
There are various printable solutions to this. There are carry-handles that attach to the Z-axis tower, and which extend high enough so that the cables can't slip over them. Or there are big pyramidal "dunce caps" that sit on top of the Z-axis tower and again extend high enough to keep the cables on the correct side of the tower.
I didn't want a carry-handle, and I don't like the look of the dunce cap (though one that's conical and actually says "Dunce" on it would be cute), so I made this alternative. You slip the cables into the loop structure, and snags are prevented. This solution has been tested for all positions of the print head (unlike one other anti-Z-axis-tower-snag-preventer I've seen).
Prints in two pieces that need to be super-glued together.
