AR cable chain link opened

Inspired by walttriano conversion for an Ender.

Designed for the width of the x-axis profile 20mm in my Ender 3. It has a latch that allows you to easily arrange and close the cables.

• 2022-03-14

update to v1.2 - printed

Thanks to the Kaligma user and his suggestions and the Devazarus user, new changes have been made - improved linearity.

Additionally, I changed a few details that came to light while improving my printer.

How to print optimally:

Keep position from stl file to optimally print all parts.

nozzle: 0.4mm or less

layer height: 0.2mm

top and bottom layers: 5

no need support.

The 0.6mm nozzle does not work well in such precise prints - I checked.

Part printed in PETG and checked, latch fits very well.

Disclaimer:

I try to release the most optimized model possible, however remember - use this thing at your own risk.
