Curved guide which snaps onto the acrylic top frame of the Anet A8 to help the X cable slide over freely.
My X carriage cable kept sticking when going over the edge of the frame, so I made this guide to help it pull over more smoothly.
I was getting inconsistent bed leveling due to this issue because the pull of the cable was causing the sensor to move a little bit. With this guide, the cable can move freely as it's being pulled by the extruder.
I measured the frame width to be 8mm, and this piece has a gap of 7.8mm so that it gets a good fit. It goes down just far enough so that it stops right above the LCD board and back plate.
