X-One Open Cable Chain

This is my take on a cable chain for the Qidi Tech X-One. The chain is open, so you don't have to run wires through it. There are two different links in the chain - one with an open top and one with an open bottom. Alternate these as you assemble the chain around the wires. The cable chain is a remix of: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:644420 I keep the bottom of the chain held in place with a magnetic block. http://www.michaels.com/pro-mag-neodymium-magnets-.5%22/10382640.html Update 07-09-17: I reprinted this in ABS, and the PLA wasn't handling the heat well when I enclosed the printer. I also decreased the bend angle slightly, giving the cable chain a larger bend radius. The top mount piece is redesigned. It "hugs" the carriage and gets zip-tied on. There's some up-play upwards, but it can't come off. Feed the zip ties through the holes in the bottom first - these are to secure the wires. Getting the mount attached to the carriage takes a bit of effort. There's a small curved hole to guide the zip tie around the bend. It took me a few tries to get the holes lined up and the zip tie fed through. I'm open to improvement suggestions. You could always use some VHB tape or sticky-backed Velcro instead.
