Aquila Cable Chain Strength Remix

thingiverse

First off, props to source file for doing the work pulling this together. This remix is tiny tweaks to help out with strength and made my life a little easier when installing. HOT END MOUNT REMIX (MOD PART 1 AND 2): This remix brakes the hot end mount into 2. Re-orientate the hot end chain attachment to lay flat. Dowel hole added, use 10mm of filament or part of a large paper clip to align the two and super glue together. This allows the layer lines of the chain connection to be the same as its slim sister components. Note around installation of hot end mount: I am not sure if these are meant to 'snap' in place or not - but it was a little more force that I wanted to put on the X carriage so I opted to disassemble the hot end to attach (gives you a chance to dust your hot end!!). BASE PLATE REMIX: There was a weak point based on suggested print orientation around the Y axis chain connection between the lugs and spin underneath. Added vertical bracing for the lugs and extended the spine, stronger part and room for strain relief cable ties. Strong parts mean stiffer parts, you might want to print a couple additional thick cable chain links in case you break one trying to get them onto these - but once on, they are solid (I actually used a small amount of lubricant to help assemble all of the chain links and worked well if you go with the layer lines).
