Drag Chain Mounting Bracket

thingiverse

One of the first projects I tackled with my printer was a custom drag chain. The challenge was finding a suitable way to attach it, but eventually I settled for wire and zip ties - until I designed this part. This innovative solution is modeled after standard end-switch holders, cleverly clipping onto the bottom of an 8mm Z-axis support rod. Its slender design allows it to fit snugly between the rod and the aluminum Z motor coupler. However, I hit a snag with the hot end of the drag chain, as its attachment depends on the extruder mount, which can vary significantly.
