Anet A6 Cable Chain Filament Guide

thingiverse

Remix of the cable chain links from [Anet A6 : Auto Leveling bed AND Cable chain !" by Athanasus](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2001681) to add filament guides. Modified the chain links to have a simpler cable management scheme. Rather than threading cables beneath the cable management arms in the original design, simply alternate "top" and "bottom" cable links as you assemble the cable chain around the cables (see the five white links in the photos). I also added a chamfer to the straight edges associated with the pivot to reduce/eliminate the filing of the links in order to get them to pivot smoothly. All of these links are interchangeable with the original links (as shown in the photos). Update 3/29/19: For completeness and in response to a question I added remixes of the Athanasus pieces that attach the chain to printer (minor modifications to strengthen the attachment points). The "chain out end" (connects the chain to the top of the printer frame), the "chain nozzle end" (connects the chain to the extruder end), and a remixed "extruder chain holder" (attaches to the extruder, but does not include the proximity sensor). The "extruder chain holder replaces Athanasus' "proximity sensor" piece to allow use of the chain without a proximity sensor (although I heartily recommend the original mod of adding a proximity sensor).
