Yet Another Cable Chain
Description
Instructions
If you find the links don't move well just exercise the joints for a few minutes and it should loosen right up.
In order to prevent the chain from curving print four at a time.
I'll add some end links soon for mounting to machines.
Just print 'em out and snap 'em together.

Doesn't this rattle when going back and forth with your axis? I printed the 4 pieces for fun and while banding you can hear the plastic rattling.
I've uploaded the SolidWorks file. I'll make some end mounts soon. Any preference on how the end mount would attach to a machine?
After printing some others here on thingy, I got frustrated with the results. These printed very cleanly for me. I just wish you had uploaded the endmounts, or at least the 3d files so I could edit my own.
Very nice, we can always use more cable carriers (cable chains). However, it looks remarkably similar to other cable chains on thingiverse, why not acknowledge some ancestry?
Depends. Cable chains have been around. I don't think anyone on Thingiverse is claiming they invented the cable chain.
If tosjduenfs didn't start with someone else's work... if his cable chain was created from memory and/or examples that have been around for years and years, there's no requirement for attribution, IMHO.
There printing very nicely for me. Do i need it... no but they sure look cool. Nice and simple and fairly quick to print. Thanks

It will smooth out after some use. I have a different printer now and have no use for it.
