Fixing the Cable Chain on the Extruder for Your Aurora Printer **Getting Started** First things first, locate the cable chain connected to your Aurora printer's extruder. You can easily spot it by looking at the side of the print head - it usually features a few loose wires running from the motherboard towards the nozzle. **Tools Required** For this task, you'll need an Allen wrench or a screwdriver that fits snugly into the extruder motor mount nut located at the back of your Aurora printer. In some cases, additional tools such as wire cutters and a plier might also come in handy, but it's not usually necessary. **Removing the Cable Chain** Next, turn off and unplug your Aurora printer from its power source. After ensuring everything is secure and free of any hazards, take hold of the extruder motor mount nut firmly and loosen it by applying gentle yet firm pressure clockwise using your wrench or screwdriver. Once you feel a slight give, use both hands to grip the cable chain securely from either side. With a bit of force, you should now be able to carefully pull it right off the extruder's side assembly. If some of the wires come loose during removal, gently re-attach them according to your printer manual for peace of mind. **Inspecting and Cleaning** Inspect your cable chain for any visible damage or fraying that might have occurred over time due to frequent printing activities. It is highly advisable to carefully cut away any damaged sections with wire cutters and dispose of them responsibly before moving forward. Now, take some dry cloth material (an old sock will work perfectly fine) to wipe down each exposed metal component gently without applying too much pressure, as not to push dirt or grime further into its tiny crevices. **Reassembling** After making sure everything looks ship shape, feed the newly cleaned cable chain through the hole in the extruder's side assembly where it originally was, then secure it with some extra firm tightening on that previously loosened nut we worked with earlier. Lastly, use pliers or an Allen wrench once more to tighten the extruder motor mount itself - be sure not to overtighten as this might risk damaging other sensitive components inside your Aurora printer. And voila!
