Anet A8 Y Axis Cable Chain v2

After printing the impressive cable chain designed by sukhoi27, I felt compelled to make some adjustments and improvements to it. First, I modified the frame mount: I removed the unnecessary part that connects the frame to the nut, which not only saved a lot of time but also eliminated the need for excessive strength. Additionally, I removed the internal components, allowing me to avoid inserting wires through the part and giving me the flexibility to remove the part without disconnecting all the cables. Next, I modified the hotbed mount: the original design was too tall, which resulted in a loss of 5-6 mm in height due to the need for the hotbed to be higher than usual to avoid hitting the hotend when moving it back home. To solve this issue, I relocated the chain part to the bottom and cut off the upper portion, effectively saving about 3 mm of height. As a result, the modified design now loses only 2 mm from the original A8 height. Furthermore, I enlarged the hotbed mount holes to 4mm in diameter, making them perfect for securing the cart screws with ease.
