TOM build platform cable management system

thingiverse

This ThingOMatic Heated Build Platform cable management system consists of baseplate, midpoint, X stage anchors and chain links. To install, print out these components and assemble the parts. Start by attaching the X stage anchor to the right side rib of the build platform using an M3x16 machine screw. Next, disassemble the right side of the Y stage, remove the endcap from the front rod and attach the centerpoint anchor in its place. Reassemble the Y stage and optionally zip-tie the HBP cable and Y axis endstop cable to the centerpoint anchor. Snap together 9 chain links between the X stage anchor and centerpoint anchor, ensuring the first link is installed in the opposite direction for a smooth 90-degree turn. Place the baseplate anchor around the Y stage cable, attach a chain link, and then snap it to the anchor on the base plate. Adjust the position as needed and ensure the cable chains do not snag or rub during X and Y axis travel. This cable management system can be installed without disconnecting any cables and provides a reliable solution for printing objects near the maximum size of the TOM build envelope.
