This is how I affixed a drag chain on my Shapeoko 3.
I reused the electronics shroud as the base of the chain anchor, and added a top and bottom cover to the shroud to stop debris from getting in.
While designing this, and learning how to operate I noticed my motors getting quite hot. This is why I designed fans to cool them down, and I ended up using one of the fan mount as anchor for the top of the drag chain.
Its a nice little setup.
Enjoy.
