Igus E-Chain Links with Bendable Cable Clips

thingiverse

I've created E-Chain original links and one I edited (features a 'T' watermark) for printing. To improve print-in-place links, I adjusted the pins by .02mm (.04 total) and inner faces by .02mm. Hoping to get feedback on these modifications. I appreciate igus's fair play with their CAD files. Their approach to fair use enables faster prototyping and testing of duplicated parts. Earlier, I used the igus E-Chain on my ShopBot. This incredible plastic material behaves like high-grade aluminum in many ways.

'Print-in-place' is currently the preferred term, but I prefer 'functionable' as it better describes this outcome.
