Off The Shelf Drag Chains for 2.2
Note: Printed but untested. If you try this, tell me what worked and what didn't on Discord. I'll use it soon enough.
Why
- Drag chains with a snap open side are a joy to work on.
- It looks awesome.
- I hate printing chains for myself and these are cheap.
BOM
- Some M3 screws
- Some M3 nuts
- A few M5 screws that are a couple millimeters longer than the M5's on the gantry. You'll figure it out.
- 3x Openbuilds 10x15mm 18mm radius Drag Chains
STLs
| File | Note |
|---|---|
| x_carriage_mount | You screw your drag chain's floppy end to this side. |
| xy_bridge | You screw your drag chain's floppy end to this side. Wires go through it and up into the Y chain. |
| a_corner_tube | Keeps your wires from touching the rail, frame, side covers and belt. |
| upper_z_mount | You screw your drag chain's floppy end to this side. This holds a_corner_tube |
| lower_z_mount | Mounts to the rear lower frame. You'll need to cut an L shaped slot into your bottom panel. Also a great spot to run your bed and heater wires down through. Move this on the rail until you get a little tension on your Z chain. That'll keep it tight and it will look awesome. |
Orient the models for supportless printing.
