Anet A8 Y-Axis Cable Chain v2
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
After printing the great cable chain designed by sukhoi27, I feel the need to do some tweak and mod to it.
- first of all, I modified the frame mount: I removed the part that goes between the frame and the nut. You don't need this level of strenght and you save a lot of time without removing the nut. I also removed the internal parts so you don't need to insert wires through it, and you can always remove the part without disconnecting all the wires.
- then I modified the hotbed mount: the original part was too tall and since you need the hotbed to be higher of that (so you won't risk the hotend to hit it when going home), you were losing 5-6 mm in height. I moved the chain part at the very bottom and cut the upper part, saving about 3 mm. Now you lose only 2 mm from the original A8 height.
- I also enlarged a bit the hotbed mount holes: now they are 4mm diameter, perfect for the cart screws.
