Drag Chain - Cable Chain - Ender 3
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.
I wasn't happy with the drag chains that I printed before for my Ender 3, the hinges didn't feel nice, the print never looked good, then I decided to make my own version using different concepts. After several tests and prints, I finally achieve a design that looks nice and works smoother.

The hot end part is supposed to snap in place, the distance between axis is 40mm, if yours isn't like this, check this remix made by @robschwieb https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4176101

If your Ender 3 comes with a screw that holds the spring in the extruder, just print the file "support-2_remix_for_newer_extruder_spring_screw.STL". Thanks to @mikemyers0211 who warned me about this model.

I used 14 links for my Ender 3, maybe yours need more or less, that's on you.

Something that you should have in mind, with this cable chain setting, you lose some Z-axis space.
