Beefy CTC Prusa I3 Z-Axis Bracket w/ cable chain mount

thingiverse

I added some extra height to daneelgs design for the Z-Axis brackets because I thought they needed to be a bit beefier. I also threw in a cable chain mount on the left-hand side that matches this chain https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11978, and a cable bracket thingy so the cables can pass through in an organized fashion. Don't worry about the expertly taped (ahem) cable connection in the pictures. The left bracket with the cable chain mount can't be printed upside down, so I had to print it with some light supports touching the build plate to get smooth bridges. It might have worked without them, but I didn't want to risk it since I wasn't using a proper print cooling system at the time. Be careful when adding the cable chain – one side of my mounting pieces broke and I had to glue it back on because I was impatient and couldn't wait for another print. For a 5mm plywood frame, keep in mind that there's also a 6mm option out there, so make sure your printer can handle it. This is my very first creation here on thingiverse, so go easy on me!
