Summary
One of the hotbed connectors broke on my ender-2 so I made this strain relief so that it doesn’t happen again. It requires one cable tie (2.5mm or smaller) and m2 screw and nut. I think it best to disconnect the cable before installing so that you don’t put any strain on the hotbed connector.
PLA is works but I recommend ABS or PETG because of the temperature.
There is a removable piece in the front. Remove it if you want to probe (ABL) close to the edge of the print bed.
I didn’t have a crimp tool so I used a needle nose plier first and then soldered after “crimping” the BVH-41T-P1.1 connector. This can be a little difficult so it’s best to practice on another cable first.
It was difficult to find out what type of connector the Ender-2 uses so I made this table.
I bought my parts from conrad.se using part numbers from conrad.de.
