Cable Chain Ends for Felix 3D Printer

<h2>If you appreciate what I'm sharing, consider showing your appreciation with a tip.</h2> Final pieces for a Felix Printer upper cable chain have been completed. The ends were matched with a 10 x 15 mm R18 drag chain purchased on Amazon for $14 Canadian. This project was inspired by a friend's suggestion to check out a specific project that can be found <a href="https://apollo.open-resource.org/mission:resources:picoprint">here</a>. I plan to have a cable chain design completed for the print bed wires soon. Using this chain will require routing all wires from the print head towards the rear of the printer. The parts of the Felix print head made it easy to achieve this nicely. The frame-side cable chain end requires no support material but I used a brim for good bed adhesion. It snaps into the extruded frame of the Felix printer. The print head end needs internal support material, but no brim. It attaches to the lower frame of the print head using the belt tensioner M4 bolt and another M4 bolt in the side of the print head lower frame that will require drilling a hole. See the pictures for details.
