Stepcraft Y cable chain and D-Sub passthrough

thingiverse

This part is specifically designed for Stepcraft D840 machines, but it should also fit every other machine in the D series without any issues. After experiencing two frustrating cable tube jams that ripped cables out of the controller, I decided it was time to find a better solution - a small cable chain that would prevent such mishaps from happening again. To be honest, the cable chain doesn't look particularly attractive, but it gets the job done. It's an effective solution that has simplified my machine setup significantly. By removing the unnecessary steel sheet at the bottom of the machine, I've also managed to make it a lot lighter and easier to work with. In my case, I'm using different motors and quieter stepper drivers, so all signals are now passed directly through a 25-pin D-Sub socket for optimal performance.
