Ender 3 V2 Neo Gantry Front Chain Cable Mounts

Hot end and Z end mounts to enable standard chain links to be used for cable tidying across the front of the Z gantry. Uses standard (not slim) links and covers. I printed at 0.2, with 60% infill and supports. Rotate whichever way you think best to minimise supports (Tree/base only), and have them at the ‘back’ of the model so any join point are hidden. To fit: Route the heater and fan cables around the front. Press the hot end adapter onto the tubes between the wheels and the plate. There are grooves on one side of the adapter to slide over screws on the plate, so make sure its the right way round. Remove the screw on the wheel of the Z axis stepper motor (might need pliers or wrench to hold the nut on the other side). Slide the screw through the printed stepper motor adapter, with the adapter bend on the top right hand side (looking from the front). Position the adapter over the stepper plate, sliding the screw all the way through the wheel so it pokes out the other side. Get jiggy with it! Attach the nut and tighten up. There is a gap of about 1mm on the bottom of the stepper adapter to allow for error/manufacturing tolerances of the existing cover, so it may rock up or down slightly in place; by design. Print about 16 standard size cable links and alternate connecting one back/one front (preferred for stability). Or print the same number of covers and connect all the same direction. If you connect the links all the same way, the chain will only fully flex in one direction, so make sure you have it the right way round as the head moves left to right - it should be able to bend upwards. My hot end has a non stock fan cover printed in thermal filament and connectors for changeable fans, so your cabling will look neater at that end - just ensure the link is the right way up to leave a gap to feed the cables in. You probably needed to disconnect the extruder tube, heater tube and fan cables in order to route to the front, so make sure they're all back where they came from. With motors disabled or turned off, move the hotend in all directions/up and down and ensure good movement; the chain shouldnt block or shorten any movement. Apply a cable tie at each end if you think its needed. Ive used other contributors models for connecting the rest of the cable and bed cable to the back of the PSU. Cobbled together from several sources whose contribution I acknowledge.
