Prusa i3 MK2S No Mod Cable Chain Kit - All Axis
Description
Want To Add Cable Chains To Your Mk2S But Don'T Want To Modify Or Reprint The Rambo Case Or Extruder Assembly Yet? Then This Might Just Be For You... Looking To Add Cable Management To Replace Zip Ties? This Might Also Be For You... (Regarding Mk2 Support Read Below) Originally Inspired By: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1725591 Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2224025 Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2240114 I Wanted To Add Cable Chains To My Printer As The Spiral Wrap/Filament Was Beginning To Sag And The X/Y Wraps Snagged On Other Parts Causing The Axis'S To Skip A Couple Of Times. Planning/Designing Other Mods At This Point I'M Not Quite Ready To Reprint The Extruder, Or Rambo Case, So I Came Up With Another Option... Adapters. I Initially Built This As A Minimally Intrusive Mod And Factored In A Couple "Fixes" To Deal With Issues In Other Chain Kits I'Ve Read About, Assembly Should Be Straight Forward, A Few Parts From The Spare Bag And A Couple Pieces Of 1.75Mm Filament Is All You Need! (Besides The Parts... They'Re Kinda Important...) As Time Went On (And After Tazguy79 Got Me Inspired To Finish Up The Z-Axis) I'Ve Expanded It To Chain All The Axis Which I Think Completes This Thing, And Built On The Same Theme With Cable Management Ducts (Moved To A New Thing: Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2472994). There Is Lots Of Debate On How Many Chain Segments Are Needed; In The End It Doesn'T Matter And Will Vary From Printer To Printer. As Long As The Axis'S Move Freely You Have Enough. I Personally Went With A Few More Than Others To Match The Original Wire Length. There Are 2 Versions Of The Chain Link Included, One With "Ears" And One Without. I Found Printing 16 A Time Eventually One Clip Would Pop Off And Ruin The Batch, The Ears Add Enough Bed Adhesion To Keep Any From Popping Off, And It Makes Taking The Pieces Off The Bed Easier. Comments Greatly Appreciated, Let Me Know What You Think!
