I designed this part to keep my heating element from backing out of head during long prints. As the head moved back and forth, the element would come out the back of the head even though the set screw was tight. My guess is that during the long prints the head is expanding and causing the slipping of the set screw. I use a simple zip-tie to test if that solved the problem and it did.
With that test showing promise, I made this mount to attach to the carriage using the existing screws for the bearing mount. Works like a charm!
I have included all the files, including the gcode file for quick printing.
