**PLEASE VISIT https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2862375** **THIS THING SHOULD BE USED FOR REFERENCE ONLY** --------------------------------- --- --- --- **NEW AS OF 3/24/2018** Updated the "x-axis cable extendomatic" to include a cover due to inability to utilize zip ties. This may be a little overzealous, everyone's opinions on this are more than welcome. I lost the SolidWorks file for the non-covered version so I'll have to remodel that from the STL if that is the preferred style. Also I corrected the bolt hole misalignment in the *x-axis-carriage-back* pointed out by **mikefilip** here and **nath5** on the Prusa forums. Unfortunately this version won't work with previous extension piece. I also updated the pictures. **NOTE: This will be the last update on this thing. I plan to create a new thing and start with the current revision level of these parts as a sort-of "design release". I'll also separate the Rpi3 parts into its own thing to avoid some confusion.** **NEW AS OF 3/14/2018** Added a cable holder for the x-axis. It is a remix of **sodamaexchen**'s cable holder and **jltx**'s x carriage back plate with belt access. Benefits: - Removes the bolt that connects the cable holder to the back plate (which allowed the cable holder to spin pretty easily) - Wires pass through the bottom of the x carriage back plate so it can be replaced without having to re-wire everything - **YOU CAN'T USE CABLE TIES WITH THIS** I've been running without cable ties for about a week and I haven't had any issues. If you put cable ties on the x-axis stroke is limited/self-test fails. *I know this documentation is really cluttered and confusing, once I iron everything out and fully vet the designs I'll remove the **work in progress** tag and clean everything up* **NEW AS OF 3/7/2018** Added in version with RPI3 case incorporated into a mostly-stock Einsy mount. I've been going through some iterations with adding the cable chains from SoundDoc's awesome design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2311596) along with sodamaexchen's remix for the x-axis (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2731943). All credit for the concept and starting point goes out to these two. I had issues getting everything to fit, especially the z-axis cable chain, so I made a new Einsy mount with cable chain attachments built-in. Everything clips together nicely without additional pieces to be attached to the Einsy mount. **NOTE: This is still a work in progress. My planned revisions include:** 2. POSSIBLE: Incorporate new Raspberry Pi Zero W access hatch Please let me know if you have any issues or any ideas to improve this design. **SEE REVISIONS AT END OF PAGE FOR FULL UPDATES TO DESIGN**
