All Axis Chains Y Axis

thingiverse

Here is my Y Chain assembly. My objectives were to not have them running out the back behind the printer as some others have and also to try to keep the bend radius from getting too small. This is why I have the bottom of the chain attached to the print bed running level with the top surface of the print bed. Everything clears the stock print head as shown in the photo. I did not have to drill any holes or cut any wires although the two thin temperature sensor wires were a little short. I could have soldered in some extra length but I opted to use 6" extensions from Amazon that just plugged in to the existing wires. I have a link to them below along with the 7mm cable chain I used. These don't open up as the 10X15mm chains I used on my left Z axis. You do however have to carefully dislodge a little red goop securing the connector for these two wires. I used a very small flat head screw driver. You just have to peel back a little at a time and it comes right up. Hardware is 4-40 flat head screws, washers and nylon insert locknuts. I will be doing chains on all the cables and will have links below to them as I create them. Enjoy! *** Note: 15 links not including the two end fastening parts. No more, no less! --Also-- Look at the last photo. The fastening part at the bottom of the assembly has to be flipped to fasten up under the bottom mounting bracket. To be able to flip it, you have to modify the last link it connects to as I have modified the last link on the right in the photo. *** 7mm Chain: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TGBD2GT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details 6" Wire Extensions https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XMK7S8Y?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details My X and Right Side Z Axis's Assembly: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5234246 My Left side Z Axis Chain Assembly: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5182538
