Cable chains issue / first element gives way

Post by sebastian »

Once the cable chains have been filled with all the cables going to the head the weight can lead to the first element of the chain giving way.

We created a small 3d printable piece to put between the cable chain and the sheet metal to act as support structure for this first cable link element. To make this element strong and riggid we recommend 3d printing it with high fill rate (we used 70%).

Had exact same issue on the granty side, just wedged a long screw in-between granty metal pieces and it sort of works fine :)
