X-One Open Cable Chain

https://youtu.be/-yKqy0ufaQQ This is my take on a cable chain for the Qidi Tech X-One. The chain is open so you don't have to run the wires through it. There are two different links in the chain. One with an open top, and one with an open bottom. Alternate these as you assemble the chain around the wires. The cable chain is a remix of: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:644420 I keep the bottom of the chain held in place with a magnetic block. http://www.michaels.com/pro-mag-neodymium-magnets-.5%22/10382640.html Update 07-09-17: I reprinted this in ABS. The PLA wasn't handling the heat well when I enclosed the printer. I also decreased the bend angle slightly, giving the cable chain a slightly larger bend radius. The top mount piece is also redesigned. Now it "hugs" the carriage and gets zip-tied on. There is a bit up play upwards, but is can't come off. Feed the zip ties through the holes in the bottom first these are to secure the wires. Getting the mount attached to the carriage is a bit tricky. There is a small curved hole to guide the zip tie around the bend. I took me a few tries to get the holes lined up and the zip tie fed through. I am open to improvement suggestions. You could always just use some VHB tape or some sticky backed Velcro.
