Remix / mashup of the improved cable management for the Bondtech backplate, with some improvements for better printability. Hotend can now be serviced without zip-ties, and without any disassembly.

You do not have to disassemble the hotend, only take off the back plate. If you cut the original backplate in half, you don't even have to unplug any wires to install this mod.

The slit I added in the backplate gives access to all cables. It's very neat and definitely better than the crappy original standoff, which kept coming loose and caused all kinds of problems on my printer. I have not tested it for very long, but it seems stable and the cables don't move or rub.
Print with supports on the build plate. Print with PETG or ABS, PLA will not be stable/flexible enough in the long run. The smaller part is unchanged. Requires 3 M4x10 screws and M4 hexnuts.

Thanks to the original authors for this great idea.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Fused Bondtech back panel with cable management. Removed overhangs where the screws attach to allow printing without supports in that area. Added a few angles to strengthen the print overall.
