CNC 3018 Pro Cable Tidy Set ========================== Tame the tangled mess of cables on your CNC 3018 Pro with this convenient cable tidy set. I've created a STL file that includes all the clips, which can be printed together or individually as needed. The design is optimized for my print bed, but other plastics should work just fine. X Axis ------- Print two 40mm x 10mm clips to secure the cables along the X axis. Clean up any excess material and ensure they're firmly attached to the Bakelite rail. Double-check that there's about 1mm clearance between the clips and the build table, as well as adequate spacing to prevent interference with the bearing housing. Y Axis ------- A single clip supports the cable from the circuit board. You'll also need the circuit board cover, which is available separately. Check out my [Circuit Board Housing](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3886992) design for more information. Z Axis ------ Print the flexible trunking and two trunking fasteners to manage the Z axis cables. If your print bed is too small, you can split the trunking into two halves (A and B), which should fit together smoothly. Apply gentle pressure to ensure all segments move freely. Use pliers to secure the fasteners in the top rail of the 3018 frame. I drew inspiration from SkyTake's [Z Motor Cable Guide](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3291676) and adapted it for easier printing, a bigger cable tie, and improved durability. Check out SkyTake's collection for more useful items like table clamps. Once assembled, test your 3018 for full movement in all axes.
