Geeetech Prusa i3 - Cable Chain Extruder Mounts

thingiverse

In order to tidy up some of my wiring, I tracked down some chain links that caught my eye, specifically https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1732556 created by Bernbout, which proved more print-friendly than other options available elsewhere that others had employed. I customized a top mount by Piggei (the one pictured is not the exact design uploaded as some wires were shorter than anticipated and routed better off to the side) and the extruder end from Babokaj. Two ends are included in the files, one if you have the metal carriage (short version) and the other I needed had to be taller since I could only mount it between the extruder and carriage as I possess a printed carriage that I modified for a rear fan. Supports are necessary for the extruder end, and brim is recommended. I utilized 19 links and 23 chain lids (you may not need up to three for the top mount depending on your preference) for mine which you can download from Bernbout's link in the "Remixed From". I also ran the cable for the extruder motor between the third and fourth link to free up some additional slack in the cable. 2017+ Sketchup compatible files of the mounts are included. Remix from the following: Top Mount - Geeetech Prusa i3 Pro - Cable Chain Top Mount by Piggei Chain Ends - Geeetech Aluminium Y Axis Cable Chain by Bernbout Extruder End Mounts - Geeetech Prusa i3 - Cable Chain Mounts remix by Babokaj CURRENTLY REDESIGNING - I snapped one of the wires to my extruder motor, which I believe was due to the way I had it routed in the links, and now working on a further offset version. Currently the simplest workaround is instead to run the wires normally at the extruder and underneath the top mount at the last link. New design will offset the extruder side by about 2 cm and feature a 45-degree angle upwards.
