X Cable Chain Relief- Duplicator i3 Wanhao

thingiverse

To enhance the X-axis drag chain's functionality, two components can be utilized. Firstly, one part adjusts the mounting point of the chain, moving it closer to decrease total chain tension, as well as minimizing the "kink" angle and raising its position slightly. Secondly, a spring is implemented to minimize the movement of links adjacent to the extruder. In my 3D printer, these components were moving excessively, consistently pulling on the cables, which led me to worry about an impending failure. This modification will necessitate two M3 screws, approximately 5mm in length, accompanied by their corresponding nuts. The following instructions can be used: These parts were printed without support material. Utilizing PLA as the filament, I set my temperature to 195 degrees Celsius and moved at a rate of 50 millimeters per second, while also selecting layer height settings of 0.2 millimeters.
