Can anyone point me towards a 3D print file for some cable protection that is compatible with Gen2 machines?

I am a bit of a klutz. I am fearful that it is only a matter of time before I do something dumb like drop a piece of wood and break some of the y gantry plugs. The plugs are very fragile and some are precariously located. I have tried printing a couple files that look like great solutions on makerworld/printables but they are clearly for earlier generation machines. I don’t yet have the skills to modify or create a solution myself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nick - I’ve not seen any cable protectors for the Gen 2; however, I have not been looking either. Try Printables or Thingiverse.
