Ender 5 upgrade - Hidden cables - Cable chain

thingiverse

This is a text about upgrading the Ender 3D printer's cable management system. The author has designed and printed several parts, including a bed cable chain bracket, top bracket, and clips, using PLA filament with an infill of around 40-100%. They have also ordered two 20x10mm 1m chains, which will be used to create the cable chains. The upgrade includes: * Printing four parts: ender5_cable_chain_bottom_bracket_v1.stl, ender5_cable_chain_bed_bracket_v1.stl, ender5_cable_chain_top_bracket_v1.stl, and two copies of ender5_cable_chain_clip_v1_print_x2.stl. * Using two screws: M4x8mm and M3xmin.10mm with a T-nut. The estimated print time is around 2.5 hours, and the amount of filament required is approximately 30g (100% infill, support bed only). Here are some specific details about the parts: * ender5_cable_chain_bottom_bracket_v1.stl: This part will be attached to the printer's frame using an M4x8mm screw. * ender5_cable_chain_bed_bracket_v1.stl: This part will be attached to the bed of the printer using a 20x10mm chain link. * ender5_cable_chain_top_bracket_v1.stl: This part will be attached to the top of the printer's frame using an M4x8mm screw. * ender5_cable_chain_clip_v1_print_x2.stl: These parts will be used to clip the cables to the cable chains. The author has also included a photo of their finished cable management system.
