Description
This took a while, but I believe it's done now, A complete Spine Chain Kit for Ender 3 V2, with a sprite pro upgrade. There are multiple variants for the link's, and mounts, depending on how much movement you want. Be reminded that if you decide to use the Solid male and female together, it's permanent assembly, the fitment is so tight that once they are together you're not pulling them apart without breaking the male end's ball from the shaft. The solid male is good to use on the endings, to allow it some more room to move. The tolerances are about 0.25 mm, so the chain should move Freely without any binding.
Here is a short how it should look like https://youtube.com/shorts/BIa6pMfq-0w
The links don't need support, but the majority of the other parts do. The Sprite named links are generally meant for sprite extruder, and the general named ones are for any type of cable, But the General one works on the extruder cable too, it just covers more of it. There is quite a big list of files, and some of them are just for ''extra'' in case someone likes to mix and match.
For an example, this is a list of parts that I used on my setup
1x Spine Cable Double Mount
1x Spine Cable Link Extruder Start For Sprite
1x Spine Cable Holder Mount
65x Spine Cable Link for Sprite
2x Solid male Spine Cable Link For Sprite (1 in the cable holder mount, so the chain has more movement when extruder comes all the way to the left and 1 for the end at the mount in the bottom of the printer)
1x Spine Cable Bed Mount
1x Spine Cable Bed Link
20x Spine Cable Link General
1x Solid male Spine Cable Link General (At the end of the chain in the mount in bottom of the printer)
And as always, every model I upload comes with the Step files, I believe it helps the community.
