Summary

This is a customized linear x-axis cable chain for the ANET A8 equipped with my custom bowden carriage! 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'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'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 by sukhoi27)
  • 26x open chain elements, closed by zip ties (available in Starwhooper's design)
