This is a compilation of all my cable chain remixes in one place. Included are all the files you need but the original chain and mounts have not been modified. This set should have parts to accommodate most Ender 3 style configurations including the 3 Pro, 3S and 3 v2 but feel free to let me know if you come across any compatibility issues. The Hotend, Extruder, and Heated Bed mounts are all my own remixes or redesigns to improve on lazy modeling, make something more precise or to fit a new part. I swear by this cable chain system as these models are the result of years of use and tweaking.
Features:
The heated bed mount will work with the stock bracket so you do not need to unthread the knob to mount a new one. The extruder chain mount is design to suit the stock or metal replacement while the sensor cap is just a single piece swap for the BondTech BMG extruder mount from their site.
Both the Extruder mount with runout and the BondTech BMG sensor Cap are designed to be used with an endstop style switch. I use the one from my Z axis since I use a BLTouch.
Note: Using the hotend chain will reduce your Z axis max height by 10mm from the manufactures max of 250. I swear unless you were really careful even a stock printer would crush it's ptfe tube if you did go the full 250 so setting the max to 240 is just safer all around. Your slicer may even already be using 240 for an ender 3 from what I have seen.
