Z Axis Cable Chain for Anet A8
Description
I Designed This Z Axis Drag Chain To Work With The X Axis Chain That Was Designed By Tns (Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2105040), And The Electronics Case Designed By Lindkj (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2294191). The Chain Links Have Two Options: 16 Links Of Either The Closed Chain Links Designed By Sukhoi27 (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Sukhoi27), Or The Open Chain Links Closed By Zip Ties, Designed By Starwhooper (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1905344). When Printing The Electronics Case Mount Rotate It 90° In The Y Direction So That The Tabs For Attaching The Chain Links Are Printed Stronger And Less Likely To Break Off. Use Supports From The Build Plate And Extra Cooling When Bridging. The Motor Mount Should Be Printed The Way It Drops Onto The Build Plate Using Supports. This Orientation Also Prints Strong Tabs. You Will Need To Drill 2 Holes Large Enough For M3 Screws In The Top Of Your Electronics Case To Attach The Electronics Case Mount. Center The Mount Between The Tab Slots With It Touching The Usb Connector. This Position Should Line It Up With The Cut Out On The Electronics Case Cover, And Allow The Cover To Be Removable Without The Electronics Case Chain Mount Coming Off With It. All Of The Wires To Your Print Head Will Need To Be Lengthened In Order To Use This Drag Chain. I Cut My Wires, Soldered A Piece In And Insulated Them With Heat Shrink. I Printed My Chain With Black Pla And The Photo Does Not Show The Best Detail. It Was Taken Before I Lengthened And Installed The Wires In It.
