Bend protection for X-stepper motor cable
Cable bends when it enters X-stepper motor. Why is there nothing to prevent that?

There is a strain relief add-on for the x-motor on Thingiverse.

Thanks! I found one more design - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2025087
But I wonder why some strain relief is not part of the official parts?
Re: Bend protection for X-stepper motor cable
in relative terms, the Z axis doesn't move much, compared to X and Y... probably not considered to be necessary!
however I strain relieved my printers from day 1
different solution, simple but effective!

Actually this is one of the cables which didn't break in the last two years without any modificaitons. All the other (heat bed cable, both fan cables, pinda cable) did break even with a strain relief. But I fully understand the worry, I had the same.
