9. Cabling

Run the main Cable between the rear legs. Install the Cable Base Holder under the printer, between the rear legs with a 12mm M5 and t-nut. Lock in the cable using the conduit fitting part and 2x 8-12mm M3 screws.

Run the cables through the extrusion channels where possible use Cable Guide Drop In X2-4 and Cable Guide Slide In X2-4 to lock these cables into the channels.

Modify the cable chain so that it will work with our new printer dimensions. The vertical chain should contain 22 links + the 2 end links. The horizontally moving chain should contain 25 links + the two end links. The last 2 links in this chain should be reversed, to reduce the stain on the cables.

The top of the vertical chain should be screwed into the X Gantry Cable Box Bottom with 2 6-8mm M3 screws. This part requires 2 heat-serts as this will take a lot of constant movement over time.

The X Gantry Cable Box Bottom part is then screwed into the side of the X Gantry Idler 9MM and the horizontal cable chain using 2 8mm M3 screws.

The X Gantry Cable Box Cover part slides directly onto the X Gantry Cable Box Bottom part to keep the cables area neat.

The top of the horizontal chain is then screwed into the 2 heat-serts on the back of the extruder carriage using 2 8mm M3 screws.

In the pic above you can make out the two reversed chain links.
