Edit I take the CoreXY remark back. I think I understand why you want what you want: you have a permanently attached cable which can be pulled at different angles, so it needs a trumpet shape to avoid bending it sharply. I've seen it done with power cords, as an alternative to the usual rubber strain relief devices, for instance here (the cover has the other half of the "trumpet").
Edit Funnily enough, it's called a strain relief trumpet. Here (PDF) and here are two random examples Google came up with.
