I designed a simple X axis cable guard becuase I don't like how it's always bending. Care to give me some feedback?
Basically this:

This is my first time designing any accessory for 3D printers. Looking forward to hearing from you guys: the good, the bad, and how I can improve.
Cheers!
Interesting
I like the idea. I wonder how many have experienced issues to need this.

It's going to bend somewhere ...
I would have made it curved so that there is no bend point - but no matter what, each wire will some day develop a break because it bends back and forth, back and forth. I thought about this one (there are a dozen of so riffs on this same idea on the prints library) - but didn't like the hard bend at the bottom. The design could be one piece as well. On one of my printers I have a strain relief for X wire that screws to the back of the motor.
Good job on a first design though...
