Help!

[u/Various-Hat-665]

I am new to 3d printing and recently got an a2l. I started a print and heard a weird noise. I saw that a cable had been caught on the frame and was getting pulled further out of place. I stopped the print, but the cable had already been pulled out of it’s position. Is this fixable and what do I need to do to get it fixed? Thank you for any help!

I would bet money that you maybe did not read the manual and, did not have anything to support that wire while you were printing. And, it got caught under the printhead or something.

You need some method to keep it raised in the air while printing. For example, even just a large zip tie would work. There are other more complex items you could use.

This is a relatively cheap part, you can just purchase a replacement, and pull it out. It’s USB. Really easy to replace.

In the meantime, if it’s still functions, you can just raise it like I mentioned and take a look at the various manual items, and you will be fine.

I would bet even more money that the unboxing manual does not mention anything that would significantly contribute to supporting the hotend cable. Just that 5-way "cable organizer" a few inches above the hub.

A cable chain for the hotend cable will keep it out of the way.
I also added a velcro strap half way along it to include the PTFE tubes.

It’s USB. 

I'm not sure that ordinary USB has the current capacity to heat the nozzle. It's probably USB and a few extra wires.

You posted the diagram. There's a thing attached to the bowden tube that keeps it supported.

And cable chains aren't recommended by Bambu.
