I've designed and adjusted lots of different cable chain stuff over the last few years, and I figured I should package all the little changes I have made into one Thing.
UPDATE May 2023: I added a version of the extruder mount that works on the stock extruder, so now the stock extruder and the dual gear extruders are supported.
# Looser chain links
I found that all the chain links I found on thingiverse were just a little too tight - they didn't move as freely as I'd like. So while my chains are based on johhniewhiskey's original chains (and norp's slim x chains), I've made small changes to them to make them move more easily (and more quietly). These work with the same link covers as the original links.
- `looser_chain_link.stl`
- `looser_slim_chain_link.stl`
If you find these too loose, I have included the original chain links, at `original_chain_link.stl` and `original_slim_chain_link.stl`.
# Rear chain mounts
To start the chains from the cables that come out the back of the Ender 3 V2, there is my design `3v2_rear_chain_mounts.stl`. This is mounted with two M5x12mm bolts, although at the original thing there is a friction fit version that doesn't require bolts. These take the cables out from next to the power switch, and send both of the chains (bed and Z) upwards.
# Bed mount and Y Chain.
I use the bed mount from johnniewhiskey `bed_mount.stl` and `bed_mount_cover.stl`, no changes were needed there. I use my looser links with covers, 14 chain links…
