Luckily the parts somewhat follow the same general shapes, and were easily combinable.</p><p>I like this horizontal cablechain, as its “more quiet” in my experience. And looks more neat. As the cable chain always follows a set restricted path in the cable gutter.</p><p><strong>Modifications/effects:</strong></p><ol><li>Due to the effect of adding the mount on top the top screws are unable to be utilized.&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;</strong></li><li>Should not inhibit X, Y or Z movement/build area.</li><li>Watch out if you use mechanicall Z tramming, make sure your code clears the mount from the Z top endstops.</li></ol><p><strong>Settings to print (i printed at):</strong></p><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Support</strong></td><td>Yes</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Bed Adhesion</strong></td><td>Yes (for flatness), i recommend a 5mm brim</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Material</strong></td><td>PETG (PLA should be fine in that area as direct heat isnt applied. Enclosures use at least PETG please.)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Nozzle Temp.</strong></td><td>(for my material/setup)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Bed Temp</strong></td><td>&nbsp;75C</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Initial Layer speed</strong></td><td>15mm/s</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Subsequent layer speed</strong></td><td>30mm/s ( wanted a real smooth finish ).</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Cooling</strong></td><td>35%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Infill</strong></td><td>100% for strength. 35%+ should be fine though. 100% is better for the heat inserts and negates warping more when inserting the fittings.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Support</strong></td><td>YES (<strong>REQUIRED</strong>) be sure the Z distance for your support is at least 1-3x the layer height. My Z distance is .36mm for a .12mm layer height.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>If you got any questions, or suggestions put them in the comments I'll read them.</p><p>This version of the STL, uses stock parts + the parts from the original .stl location. So a 3mm heat insert and M3 hex screw. I reccomend to add washers to all parts to spread the load more due to PETG being a bit more brittle.</p>
