3mm filament for stiffening wire harness
Does anyone have a good source for a small amount of the 3mm filament used to stiffen the wire harness running from the print head to the controller? I am rebuilding a printer and the prior owner had pulled it out and had taped the wire harness to the top of the frame.

Go to eBay or a eshop and buy a sample of nylon 3mm filament.

You can try checking with local electronics stores or hobbyist shops that carry 3D printing supplies. They may have small amounts of 3mm filament suitable for stiffening wire harnesses. Additionally, online marketplaces specializing in 3D printing materials and accessories could be another resource to explore. Consider using specific keywords like "3mm filament for wire harness" to narrow down the results and find a suitable source.

3mm nylon strimmer cord works!
I have also stuffed an longM3 Screw up 4mm PTFE Tube, cut the head off the screw and put the stub of the screw into the 3mm hole for the support filament,the PTFE makes a good support filament
