NOTE!
IF YOU ARENT READING THE REST, AT LEAST KNOW YOU NEED SUPPORT STRUCTURES TO PRINT THIS FILE.

Original .STL's:
- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4316238/files (X_axis_hotend_connector.stl) by https://www.thingiverse.com/tobi0892/designs
- https://www.printables.com/model/169137-manta-mk2-duct-tool-head-system/files (Rear_Mount_Plate_Universal_V1_2.stl) by https://www.printables.com/social/249125-boothyboothy
- 12-21 gram of material required.
- For my settings 5 hour printing time required (.12mm at 50mm/s)
Reason of remix:
Both parts use the same location of installation, hence these wouldnt fit. Luckily the parts somewhat follow the same general shapes, and were easily combinable.
I like this horizontal cablechain, as its “more quiet” in my experience. And looks more neat. As the cable chain always follows a set restricted path in the cable gutter.
Modifications/effects:
- Due to the effect of adding the mount on top the top screws are unable to be utilized.
- Should not inhibit X, Y or Z movement/build area.
- Watch out if you use mechanicall Z tramming, make sure your code clears the mount from the Z top endstops.
Settings to print (i printed at):
| Support | Yes |
| Bed Adhesion | Yes (for flatness), i recommend a 5mm brim |
| Material | PETG (PLA should be fine in that area as direct heat isnt applied. Enclosures use at least PETG please.) |
| Nozzle Temp. | (for my material/setup) |
| Bed Temp | 75C |
| Initial Layer speed | 15mm/s |
| Subsequent layer speed | 30mm/s ( wanted a real smooth finish ). |
| Cooling | 35% |
| Infill | 100% for strength. 35%+ should be fine though. 100% is better for the heat inserts and negates warping more when inserting the fittings. |
| Support | YES (REQUIRED) be sure the Z distance for your support is at least 1-3x the layer height. My Z distance is .36mm for a .12mm layer height. |
If you got any questions, or suggestions put them in the comments I'll read them.
This version of the STL, uses stock parts + the parts from the original .stl location. So a 3mm heat insert and M3 hex screw. I reccomend to add washers to all parts to spread the load more due to PETG being a bit more brittle.
