Migbot x Hephestos X-carriage upgrades

thingiverse

I set out to tackle the messy cable management and lack of belt tensioning capabilities in my Migbot Prusa i3 printer by finding a solution. The motor mounts, cable chain, and belt tensioning of the Hephestos caught my eye, so I created a crossover that fits the Migbots' smooth rod and lead screw while providing mounts for cable chains and belt tensioning like the Prusa Hephestos. The rest is plug-and-play easy. Simply replace the old parts with the new ones and enjoy fuss-free cable chain mounts for your x-axis. Use the cable chain links from the Prusa Hephestos to assemble the belt tensioning according to the Hephestos manual. Please note that I do not currently have the cable chain for the z-axis, so this project is still a work in progress.

You should know how to get the job done right.
