Reduplicator with 10x15 drag chains

thingiverse

The original cable chains for the Wanhao I3 are extremely small and nearly impossible to pull the servo leads through without disassembling the connector. I switched to a 10x15 cable chain with small doors on each link, making it incredibly easy to route cables. If you plan to use the 10x15 cable chains, you can use a sharp flush cutter to remove the top or bottom of the Wanhao cable chain links. This allows the cables to be removed, being extremely careful not to cut any wires. I also added a cable chain to the Y-Axis. The mount to the carriage plate is specifically designed for a certain carriage plate and may not work with yours. The photo showing the ReDup-Y-Axis-DragChain-10x15.stl attached to the Y Carriage plate is an older version, the current one is slightly longer to avoid contact with the heated build plate. The X Axis drag chain uses 21 Links, with the last two connected to the rear bearing plate flipped. The Z Axis drag chain consists of 19 Links. The Y Axis drag chain has 18 links, with the last two connecting to the y axis frame flipped. The 10x15 link that connects to "DragChain-Male-10x15.stl" may require a small tab to be cut to allow the male connector to rotate. This small tab matches up with the two small notches on the male connector. DragChain-L-Mount.stl replaces the "X Gantry Cable Box Bottom.stl". Lower-Mount-DragChain-10x15.stl attaches to the side of the tower to connect the Z Axis chain. DragChain-Male-10x15.stl and DragChain-Female-10x15.stl are also required. Redup-Y-Axis-Mount-DragChain-10x15.stl goes on the back of the Y Axis frame to attach the Y Axis Drag Chain. ReDup-Y-Axis-DragChain-10x15.stl attaches to the Y Carriage plate to provide a place to connect the Y Axis Drag Chain. The Y Carriage plate is available at https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carriage-Plate-V3-Prusa-i3-Wanhao-Duplicator-and-Monoprice-140mm-Y-Rod-Distance-/323171898907. One meter of 10x15 Cable chain can be purchased at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K59D3DH, with one meter being just enough for all three axis. I had to order two.
