Enhancements - Y axis cable chain
One of the first things I felt needed to be changed was the connection to the heated bed. Maybe I was influenced by the effect that this had on my Creator Pro where repetitive use led to the connection failing and starting to burn, creating clouds of smoke.
My solution to this was to replace the simple hanging cable connection with a cable chain which mounts firmly to the connector at the bed end and to the rear of the chassis at the other.
My design re-used some very simple (and effective) chain links from Thingiverse and I created two interfacing parts for each end.
Credit goes to sukhoi27 on Thingiverse for their original link design which proved easy to connect to.
Once connected, the cabling can be easily threaded through the chain and then the two ends screwed into their positions.
If you'd like to download this enhancement, the design is available on both Thingiverse and Cults3D
