Open Cable Chain Reversed

thingiverse

I started this to be able to support all the wiring and at the same time be able to easily change wires. I wanted the chain the other way around. ;-) And used happily the original and Open Cable Chain Bidirectional by tehmaze https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1556918 in it too. And those beautiful springs, of course. The Chainsupport is placed around a M5 bolt or on a M5 threaded rod or something like that and turns freely around it. The Chainmount is meant for use with V-slots, as seen in picture. A disadvantage of this thing is that it tends to shake sideways a bit. Pulling it very lightly upwards with a rubber band dampens that sufficiently. It is indeed easy to remove/add wires, but even now I am still in doubt whether this is an improvement on the simple spiral wrap tube. It is not a big load on the moving carriage but the whole bunch wrapped up could also use a little support (perhaps the same rubber band ;-) ). Please give me your thoughts. Thanks.
