What do you guys use for support on your thermistor wires?

The ones I usually buy keep breaking (These ones)
I've tried a few different things to try and help, springs, high temp epoxies. The wires keep on breaking though...

The wires only break if you move them around all the time.
I never had broken wires on my thermistors and they are just crimped and with a glass sleeve...

Never seen those before but you could try some high temperature silicone sealant and create a tapered boot from the brass end. This will spread the bending load over a larger area.

You need a strain relief point at some place on the X carriage or extruder you can zip-tie all the cables to.
