I got fed up of my cable harness drooping and banging into my enclosure. so came up with this solution, This iteration only works with my E3D Roto mount, but could easily be modified to work with other print carriages.

I first 3d printed the bridge but it does drag ever so slightly due to the weight of the enclosed cables. I then made an aluminium version on my home built CNC router, I have included a step file of this.

Both XY joiners were modified for 2 x 5mm brass Inserts to attach the X tray Spacers

The X Endstop has been relocated to the spacer on the LH XY Joiner.

I used 2 x (10 x 15) Cable Chain available on Amazon.
