Description

The strain on the X-axis cables of the Replicator 1 has been documented to cause the endstop cable to break and potentially cause a fatal short, destroying the mightyboard. Having been through a few of these mightyboard blow outs, I've decided to design a set of cable chain mounts which house the X-axis cables on the Replicator 1.

This cable chain upgrade provides you with a bracket which mounts to the stepper X-axis stepper motor and houses/protects both the stepper motor cable and the end stop cable in a cable chain. There is also a bracket which may be mounted anywhere inside the frame of the Replicator to tether the other end of the chain to the frame of the machine.
