So here is my remix of a couple of different people's models to build the ultimate Frankenstein !I tried to include many photos of the printer from lots of angles, as I know how hard it is to see what's going on sometimes in included photos.You'll need to print these segments for each axisx-Axis: 14 Chain Segments and Clipsy-Axis: 10 Chain Segments and Clips (pictures have 9, but needs at least10)z-Axis: 25 Chain Segments and ClipsYou can also download a Z chain roller I made herehttps://www.printables.com/model/726844-ender-3v2neo-cable-chain-z-axis-roller-with-bearin I used the y/z axis mount from jbodoque_1401268's model - you'll need to download this from his page as I couldn't include it due to licensingI used the Chain links, clips z/x and y mounts from Printerfreak's modelI used the Direct Drive mount from TheGameIsFunny's modelI added a hook on the z/x mount that holds the z chain neatly, rather than is hanging loosely. I'm working on a clip for this which will add rollers so it runs up and down a little smoother.The biggest problem I've run into with other people's models is the x-axis. With this model, it doesn't quite print to the very right edge of the x axis as it seems slightly short - I'm happy to update the model to give it a slightly longer reach if anyone wishes me to. For the X axis, make sure flip the last 3 chains so it can bend around the frame. I also had to extend the z and extruder stepper motor wires so they will reach (I intend to extend them even further so they can run up the z chain as well, I think 15cm might be enough). I had to run the cables down to the left and under the printer to run the cables corrextly for the y cable chain.You can also use the cable chain links without the clips if you alternate them.Would love to see your makes !! Happy printing !
