NOTE!

IF YOU ARENT READING THE REST, AT LEAST KNOW YOU NEED SUPPORT STRUCTURES TO PRINT THIS FILE.

Original .STL's:

  1. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4316238/files (X_axis_hotend_connector.stl) by https://www.thingiverse.com/tobi0892/designs
  2. https://www.printables.com/model/169137-manta-mk2-duct-tool-head-system/files (Rear_Mount_Plate_Universal_V1_2.stl) by https://www.printables.com/social/249125-boothyboothy 
  • 12-21 gram of material required.
  • For my settings 5 hour printing time required (.12mm at 50mm/s)

Reason of remix:

Both parts use the same location of installation, hence these wouldnt fit. Luckily the parts somewhat follow the same general shapes, and were easily combinable.

I like this horizontal cablechain, as its “more quiet” in my experience. And looks more neat. As the cable chain always follows a set restricted path in the cable gutter.

Modifications/effects:

  1. Due to the effect of adding the mount on top the top screws are unable to be utilized.  
  2. Should not inhibit X, Y or Z movement/build area.
  3. Watch out if you use mechanicall Z tramming, make sure your code clears the mount from the Z top endstops.

Settings to print (i printed at):

SupportYes
Bed AdhesionYes (for flatness), i recommend a 5mm brim
MaterialPETG (PLA should be fine in that area as direct heat isnt applied. Enclosures use at least PETG please.)
Nozzle Temp.(for my material/setup)
Bed Temp 75C
Initial Layer speed15mm/s
Subsequent layer speed30mm/s ( wanted a real smooth finish ).
Cooling35%
Infill100% for strength. 35%+ should be fine though. 100% is better for the heat inserts and negates warping more when inserting the fittings.
SupportYES (REQUIRED) be sure the Z distance for your support is at least 1-3x the layer height. My Z distance is .36mm for a .12mm layer height.

If you got any questions, or suggestions put them in the comments I'll read them.

This version of the STL, uses stock parts + the parts from the original .stl location. So a 3mm heat insert and M3 hex screw. I reccomend to add washers to all parts to spread the load more due to PETG being a bit more brittle.
