These are modified cable chain mounting brackets for the Ender 5 Plus with the Micro Swiss NG direct drive extruder.  See the original creator here:  https://www.printables.com/model/436006-ender-5-plus-with-microswiss-ng-cable-chain

 

The original creator made these for a 10x15 cable chain that was purchased from Amazon.  He used the closed version of the chain, which requires you to fish everything through it.  I decided to use the outside open version of the chain to avoid having to do that, but it has a different bolt pattern than the one he used.  These parts will fit the open chain (link below).  The rear mounting bracket (the tall one) may be resized to fit other extruder setups, but the front bracket is specific to the NG extruder only. The original screws on the motor are M3x18mm and the part itself is 4mm thick, so use at least a 22mm long screw. I used a 25mm screw to attach it and it works fine.

 

The chain I purchased can be found at the link below.  You can also search for it by typing the ASIN in Amazon's search bar, which is B07WJ4CPF5.
