ANET A8 | X-Axis Cable Chain
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.
This is a customized linear x-axis cable chain for the ANET A8 equipped with [my custom bowden carriage](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2099577)! This design may also work with other carriages.

**Notes regarding the chain mounts:**
The *chain mount attached to the x-axis motor* is a modified version of [davbarr](http://www.thingiverse.com/davbarr)'s design. The spacing/offset is slightly adopted to fit my custom carriage mount (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2099577) and further holes for zip ties are added.
The *chain mount attached to the carriage* is in minor parts inspired / adopted from [Starwhooper](http://www.thingiverse.com/Starwhooper)'s adapter plate (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1905344). The plate is highly customized to fit my custom bowden hotend mount (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2099577). You will need longer screws than the stock ones to fixate this plate - M4x12 did the job for me.

**Regarding chain elements, there are two options:**
* 26x closed chain elements - provided in the download section ([design](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1874802) by [sukhoi27](http://www.thingiverse.com/sukhoi27))
* 26x open chain elements, closed by zip ties (available in [Starwhooper](http://www.thingiverse.com/Starwhooper)'s [design](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1905344))
