Description

This is a ball jointed cable management system for the heated bed on Prusa i3 MK2s and Zaribo 3d Printers. Note that the MK2S adaptor is coming soon so this is only currently usable for the Zaribo printer. For more information on Zaribo click here - http://zaribo.org/

The same system will be coming shortly for the extruder and Z motor cables.

There are 3 main elements to this system:

  1. The heatbed cover which is made up of 2 pieces. A 12mm M3 screw is required but you can use the hex nut from the existing heatbed cover. Oh and you will need to remove the heatbed cable connectors as they will not fit through the ball joints, they are easy to screw on/off though.
    These must be printed in the orientation of the supplied STLS and will require support. Use medium density support for a better finish.

  2. Ball joints - Approximately 15 of these will be required for the Zaribo but it will depend on the length of your cables. These are printed using 'Spiralise' or 'Vase' mode without any top or bottom layers. I recommend that these be printed with PETG so they have a little flex.

  3. The Rambo box adaptor - Zaribo - This is similar to the ball joints but is straight on one end so it can fit over the existing Rambo connection, it should be a tight-ish fit.
    This adaptor must also be printed using 'Spiralise' or 'Vase' mode. I recommend that these be printed with PETG so they have a little flex.

When the ball joints are pushed together they should be quite a loose fit but not fall apart.

TIPS: When threading the wires through the ball joints, do it in segments to make it easier then just joint the segments together afterwards.
