X-Carriage with holes for energy chain and light

thingiverse

I added extra space at the top with two holes to mount an energy chain, utilizing one similar to mine, available from https://de.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-Best-price-10-x-10mm-L1000mm-Cable-Drag-Chain-Wire-Carrier-with-end-connectors/32735832922.html. Meanwhile, I tested a 7x7 chain with the same screw distance. I uploaded another STL, identical to the first one but with additional space at the bottom for mounting an LED plate. This plate is secured using straps available from https://www.banggood.com/1_8W-12led-COB-LED-Chip-130mA-WhiteWarm-White-For-DIY-DC-12V-p-957669.html. As I was uploading the second STL, I thought maybe the light would require a chain mount. However, this was not necessary. So, I uploaded a third one called "light_only". I added a photo of the second STL, printed in PETG 0.2mm with an energy chain mounted but without the LED plate installed. This is because my printer is still under construction, but you can see that the straps are already attached. I also posted a photo showing the LED plate mounted. Today, I added the hotend holder to the printer and discovered that when the holder is in place, it bumps into the x-endstop holder. As a result, the switch will not be triggered. This issue has never occurred with my E3D holder before, but perhaps other holders are affected as well. To resolve this problem without modifying every hotend holder, I came up with the idea of adding a distance plate to the x-carriage. I uploaded a photo of the proposed modification and also made the STL file for the 3mm thick distance plate available.
