<p>This "Thing" will make it easy for you to attach a tape measure to the "rollers" of the MPCNC. You can then run your cables along the tape measure and cover them with a cable sleeve. Essentially creating a lightweight cable chain. Commonly known as "The Tape Measure Trick"</p> <p>This version is compatible with mid span conduit supports like this one - <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1160962">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1160962</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Parts Instructions</h3> <p><strong>Print Instructions (recommended)</strong></p> <p>0.2 mm layer height<br/> PETG<br/> Infill 15% - 50%<br/> Brim or Raft suggested but not required for some printers.</p> <p><strong>Installation</strong></p> <p>Do NOT mount this piece under the bearing.
