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)
