Parametric cable chain with cable separators

thingiverse

You can easily create cable chains with the uploaded scad file, where you can adjust the parameters at the end of the script (line 285 and following). Although the file was designed for a specific purpose and wasn't thoroughly cleaned up before upload, it's still usable for other people. Hopefully. Length: This is the total length of each chain link. Outer width: This refers to the outer width of a single chain link. Outer height: This is the outer height of a chain link. Angle: This measures the angle from one chain link to another. Clip diam: This is the diameter of the round clip that connects links together. Cables: This is an array with multiple dimensions, listing cable diameters (including extra space of 10-20% per cable). For example: [[7.15, 6.6, 6.6], [7.15, 7.15, 6.6], [10.8, 6.6, 4]] creates three columns with three cables stacked each. To change the wall sizes, go to the "chainLink" module. The switch "singleLink" in line 321 lets you toggle between a useful view for editing and exporting (true) and a full half-circle view with chain links attached at the specified angle. Print settings are as follows: Printer brand: Ultimaker Printer model: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1mm Infill percentage: 100% Notes: We used PET-G filament, so a wide brim (32 rounds) was necessary to prevent wrapping.
