To clarify the details of my setup, I have a Kossel-style delta machine with an E3D V6 hot-end. Since the printer's arms need to be relatively free to move in every direction, my best option is to zip-tie the cable assembly a few centimetres behind the cartridge, to the arm nearest the side of the base where all my cables enter and connect to the electronics. However, due to the various end-effector positions while printing and the relatively fast arm motions of a delta, there is no way to prevent some flexing of the cable bundle, so failure of this cartridge cable is just about inevitable, it seems. :-/
