bowden/cord hangs up belt shudders
My Orion's braided tube holding cables and the bowden tube hung up on one of the vertical sliders and that motor kept turning dragging the belt in a noisy shaking way. Is there some neat way to keep the thing from hanging up short of my using a tiny bungee cord to hold it away from other moving parts?

On mine I used one of the retractable badge holders that keep a constant tension on the tube yet allows for easy movement.
This is one of the best and uses a kevlar cord. http://www.amazon.com/KEY-BAK-Sidekick- ... ge+holders

Re: bowden/cord hangs up belt shudders
Thanks. Guided by your system I've used a very long rubber band once used holding shipping covers onto wine barrels. one end looped around the tube and the other over one of the pulley housings on top of the Orion. Any disasters will be my fault.
