No more walk away! M2 Secured!

Hey everyone, I want to share my success story from last night. I’m very pleased with myself for reading the forum and researching inspiration online and finally completed an easy, inexpensive and effective solution for vibration, walk away, and security (because why not).

HBP power wire broken

so my printer must be getting to the age in it's life when stuff starts to wear out. It's a shame because if I had printed the wire support from Thingiverse this might not have happened.
