STEP 62 Textile sleeve parts preparation
For the following steps, please prepare:
Zip tie (5x)
Textile sleeve 13 x 490 mm (1x)
There are three textile sleeves in the package, use the largest one (both diameter
and length).
STEP 63 Tightening the textile sleeve
Open one end of the textile sleeve and slide it on the cable bundle leading from the
extruder. Don't forget to include the black nylon filament inserted earlier!
Leave the cables from the hotend out for now.
Length of the first wrap should be slightly longer than the cable-holder part, about
5 cm is enough.
Gently twist the sleeve to make it smaller and tighter around the cables, orient the
sleeve's seam downwards, then slide the sleeve towards the extruder.
Take 3 zip ties and insert them into the lower row of holes on the cable-holder.
Twist the sleeve again (without twisting the cables inside) and tighten the zip ties.
IMPORTANT: Cut the remaining part of each zip tie using pliers as closest to its
head as possible. Note the correct position of each zip ties's head (slightly off-
centre to the left).
