The big risk to watch out for (very important) Braided sleeving does not resist compression well. If you: - Zip-tie it too tight - Or zip-tie too often - Or bin… EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO - ✔️ Bundle the wire + PTFE filament tube together - ✔️ Add light stiffness, which helps prevent the cable from drooping below the top - ✔️ Protect the wire from rubbing and fatigue - -- - Zip-tie it too tight - Or zip-tie too often - Or bind the PTFE tube rigidly to the wire - ❌ Extra drag on filament CONVERSATION SHAPE: 1 user turns / 1 assistant turns ATTACHMENTS DETECTED: 6 Raw transcripts, private details, exact locations, account information, employer/customer-confidential material, and restricted software references are not published in this note.
