Prusa Mini cable chain mod - side mount remix

Remix of https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/27742. I needed a compact solution for the X-arm chain because my printer sits in a very tight space.

The heatbed part worked perfectly for me and is unchanged.

Assembly of X-axis

Remove electronics covers on the MINI and reroute x-axis wires under the Z extrusion. I had to cut a little the electronic box to achieve that.

Place 3 nuts into part 1.

Ziptie part 1 to the x-axis motor.

Bolt part 3 to part 1 with the cable between them.

Place part 2 against part 1, route cable and ziptie part 2 and cable to part 1.

Place nut in t-nut, loosely bolt part 4 to T-nut. slide into side channel of z-axis extrusion, towards the control panel, above midway.

Route Z-axis wires in the channel ( i removed the black wrapping around the cables ) and cover them with part 11 that clips in the slot below part 4. slide part 4 downwards against part 11, tighten screw.

Add x-axis Chain and clip parts starting from the motor side. Tighten

Assembly of heatbed:

(copied from the original design.)

Replace bed cover with part 6.

Unplug heatbed wires and reroute through y-axis wire hole.

Add 15 chain and clip pieces starting from the headbed side.

Place part 8 Adapter on heatbed cables and snap into part 7

Mount with the adapter open end Up. Some finagling may be necessary to get the cable length correct.

Attach part 7 mount to frame with the y-axis motor cables between the mount and the frame.

Reconnect heatbed and replace electronics cover.
