Ender 3 Cable Chain Motor Mount / Anschluss Remix

thingiverse

Actually a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4790857 which is a remix of the original https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3769941 for a cable chain mount for the Creality Ender 3 Pro (mine was purchased 11/2021). The remix has slightly higher walls in the front to hold on better and prevent the piece from falling off. I saw a number of comments wondering if it could cause the extruder motor to overheat - something I was concerned about as well. After measuring the extruder temps with a thermal camera I noticed the bottom was mostly warm and the metal sides near the center of the printer were warm. I assumed the sides were warm from the extruder fan and the bottom was warm from the bed, however the bottom seemed more warm than I liked and this uses less material. Seeing these I added some vents. bottom hole intentionally offset to keep the most material near the chain mount point. The sides are simple so that they can bridge easily. Overall it should use less material, print faster and allow the extruder motor to cool better. I also added a small fillet to the front corner edges, however I don't necessarily think it is needed. Feel free to let me know if you'd like any features or updates!
