Ender 3 X Axis Mount Patch Panel

thingiverse

This is a cable rewiring system I've used on my Ender3. It replaces the X-Axis limit switch cover (The thing with the QR code sticker on it) with one that has M3 screw holes for mounting other attachments. You can then attach to that: * Main Mount and Ethernet Retainer: This has a cable holder (and retaining clip) that will secure 3 ethernet cables. I use 3x 24AWG stranded ethernet cables to run from my control board to the patch panel. It looks great, handles enough current, and is cheap. The retainer is secured with M3 screws to the cable holder. The main mount also itself has mount points for the actual patch panel. * Patch Board Backing and Front Panel: A front and back panel that sandwiches the breadboard for the actual patch panel. The patch board I built has JST 2.54mm connectors to match the stock control board, so most of the components (including the extruder motor) would just connect straight in without needing to modify the cable (I didn't even shorten them). I did need to add a JST plug to the hot end heater, and the BLTouch "extension" cable.
