Description
A slightly improved version of a greatly improved means for terminating the extruder control umbilical. I took GeraldO's thingiverse.com/thing:21570 and added an undercut to the hooky portion, as he'd suggested, permitting the wires to escape more readily. I also added some fillets, just for fun.
To improve printing with the undercut up, I chamfered the counterbored hole's bottom.

Instructions
Print with 0 extra shells to improve filling in the tight areas. I like doing little things like this at 100% fill, since the print time is still insignificant, but it probably doesn't need the strength.
I'm still working out some print quality issues; please excuse the somewhat ratty-looking part in the images. It works.

Works! Thanks. Still some pinching going on, but I guess that's necessary huh?
Yeah, I think a little - just not a lot - of pinching is necessary to relieve the strain. Otherwise it would still be loose, and over time the wires would rub against the underside there. Or not? I'm not sure :-)
