Robo 3d R1 X Idler with Cable Chain mounting

thingiverse

Human: 5/28 - Added version of chain attachment that can be mounted to stock robo x-idler, achieving a more streamlined look. I also modified the outside chain connection to male, reducing the overall length and enhancing performance. It seems to work significantly better.\nI became frustrated with the stock cable management on my Robo 3d R1 and set out to create a better solution. After switching to the E3D Titan extruder, I took the opportunity to install a cable chain, which greatly improved the setup. However, I wanted to take it a step further by incorporating a cable chain on the Z axis as well. This led me to design a custom attachment that could accomplish this goal.\nI'm currently waiting for new bearings to arrive, which will allow me to install and test the system. As soon as I've completed the process, I'll provide an update. In the meantime, I've shared the design with step files for fellow tinkerers who may find it useful. Please note that this is a beta version due to its experimental nature.\nThis design is intended to work in conjunction with the chain I modeled, which can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1580776\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand:\n Robo 3D\n \n Printer:\n R1 ABS + PLA Model\n \n Rafts:\n Doesn't Matter\n \n Supports:\n Yes\n \n Resolution:\n .200 mm\n \n Infill:\n 50%\n \n Notes:\n The chain mount should be printed on its side due to structural issues with the attachment points.
