Cable chain anchor mounts for D-bot

thingiverse

This is a custom frame mount and carriage plate mount designed for a substantial cable chain to be securely attached to my D-bot assembly. The chain itself is sourced from Thingiverse, specifically item 951006, which I printed at a scaled size of 60%, resulting in an impressively large component. The carriage plate mount attaches seamlessly to the carriage plate via the pre-existing M3 screw holes intended for mounting a small conduit holder that secures the end of a 1/2" conduit along with the bowden tube and wiring. In this setup, I recommend replacing the standard conduit mount with my custom-designed one. Once installed, attach the frame mount to the front top rail of the D-bot framework. I manufactured these components using PETG material, taking care to print them slowly to ensure optimal strength. A thick .6mm nozzle was utilized in conjunction with multiple perimeters to achieve a remarkably stiff and robust structure. While exact printing settings will depend on individual printer capabilities and preferences, I highly recommend prioritizing stiffness and overall durability for the best results.
