This is my slowly and gradualy desgined cable chain for my beloved Ender 5 with Micro Swiss Direct Drive.

It is a remix of very sturdy chain for Ender 3 by Diogo Santos https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3715002
and some Nema17 motor chain mount I found a couple of years ago and can no longer identify the source or the author.

There are two versions of stepper motor mount. The difference is only with screw hole.
I'm currently using V2.

There are also two version of frame mount as I switched to linear rails some time ago.

As a rule of thumb I only print printer parts in ABS, so I cannot guarantee this will work with PLA.

I'm using one piece of NO STOP cable link (reversed as on the photo) attached the chain to stepper mount and another piece attached  to the frame mount.

This design might not be entirely perfect but it has been working perfectly for me for quite a while now.

I hope you like it and enjoy it as much as I do.
