We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A cable drag chain assembly designed for the Creality CR-10 3D printer, used to route and contain cables running from the X carriage, including hotend and extruder motor wiring, so they do not hang freely during printing. The chain mounts to existing frame slots and requires a small number of hardware fittings. PETG is a sensible material choice as it handles the heat and repeated flexing found near a printer's moving components better than standard PLA.

New: Combo YZ bracket when using both this and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2708420

Drag chain assembly for CR-10 to manage cabling from the X carriage (hotend, X motor and end-stop, extruder motor) so that it doesn't just hang freely. Works only with cable extensions, especially the hot-end cable assembly with the aviation plug.

Requires:
- 3x t-bolt hammer slot nuts + bolts
- 1x M5 50 mm bolt (can reuse the nut from the current wheel bolt assembly)
- zip ties to hold cable to top and bottom brackets.

Chain links are wider than those used for my Y axis cable chain (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2708420)

Top bracket:
There are 2 versions.
The version *with* cutout is needed for printers without a stepper dampener installed
The version without cutout is suitable for printers with stepper dampener installed.

Print:
10x bottom links (100% infill)
10x top links (100% infill)
1x top bracket (100% infill)
1x bottom bracket (100% infill)

Tell us and we will match it where we can.
