Whip Clip Eliminator for HE280
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2017 6:46 pm
Some people have trouble with the whip plug un-plugging itself when printing.
One option is to print a clip to retain it like one of these http://repables.com/r/808/ http://repables.com/r/811/
I don't care for the way that looks and it still does not seem very secure.
I was really excited to find a 8-pin plug with LATCHING TABS !
A really nice clean and secure plug. It plugs into the HE280 board just like the stock one. The tabs latch into holes already there!
The only need to trim out the hole in cover a bit wider. Easy to do with a sharp hobby knife and/or small file. Take the cover off to cut out hole.
The plug latches really secure, but is easy to remove by squeezing sides of plug.
I got the plug from Glenn at the MakerHive...
