Solid and cleanly mounted cable chains for all axes of the Ender 3

Does not limit the movement of the any axis!

I recommend to use ABS or PETG, especially if you use an enclosure.

Cable Clips

I use in total 47 cable clips:

• x axis: 12 (13 if 20mm longer hotend connector used)
• y axis: 13
• z axis: 22

X Axis

Print the hotend connector with supports. Otherwise, it will break during assembly! Furthermore, place the cable sleeve behind the extruder motor and the plate that holds it to properly feed the cables from the z axis stepper connector to the x axis chain mount.

Choose for the chain mount between sliding into the aluminium profile. In addition, you can also choose between the regular x axis hotend connector that better reliefs strain from the cables.

Y Axis

• Y axis chain connector

Z Axis

You need 4 M3x40 screws to mount the z axis stepper connector at the bottom of the x stepper.

• Z axis frame connector
• Z axis stepper connector
