Description
This is a ball jointed cable management system for the X Motor wires on the 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/
You can find this same cable management for the heatbed here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2735303
And for the Extruder wires here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2787748
There are 3 main elements to this system:
The X Motor Adaptor:
There are 2 of these, one is for attaching the adaptor directly to the Motor - This is for those who find that the motor wire is too short to reach the rambo box when using a Zaribo 320.
The other is for attaching directly to the Zaribo X motor holder version 2 which can be found here - https://github.com/Zaribo/Zaribo-MK2/tree/master/STL
Ball joints - Approximately 17 of these will be required for the Zaribo. 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.
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.
