Anet A8 Bed Cable Management

thingiverse

I've uploaded some fresh prototypes for you to play with. The new parts are neatly separated so you can print what you need. I recommend swapping out the bed mount first, but the rear mount has been tweaked to allow you to use 14 cable links instead of 15. For newcomers looking to upgrade, please read everything carefully and don't forget to reverse the first 4 or 5 chain links so that the chain turns into a S shape more or less. Additionally, the bed mount is now sleeker in design. I appreciate all feedback so I can confirm if it works as promised or if further adjustments are needed. One final note on the bed mount: the screw holes have built-in collapsible support. The screws will go in without this recess, but it looks better. Let me know if you encounter any issues with this feature. Original Notes: Cable management for the Anet A8 heatbed. ANOTHER ONE. This one is designed to work with cable chain https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:666118 and compatible remixes. Design considerations: 1) Compatible with a pre-existing, quality, & popular cable chain 2) Reduce or eliminate stress on the heatbed connector (regardless of orientation) 3) Doesn't cause bed leveling issues when the chain rotates 4) Contained within the printer footprint but stays out of the way 5) Hide as much of the cable naturally, no zip tie bundles
