I want you to know that if you aren't dialed in this will be very difficult to print so make sure the printer you are using is well calibrated! If you are using the PROMEGA to print this you probably have .5 nozzle. I highly recommend using a .4 to print this. If you are able to get it working with a .5 please leave a comment and build!
This is meant to be an easy replacement for the stock wire housing and cable chain mounting system. It makes more space, movement is less restricted, it's a hinged enclosure that prints as one piece and you aren't fighting to close it up.
Also sorry that a lot of the photos are upside down. Thingiverse makes it super difficult to post a picture at correct orientation.
A few of the added features for this version is the cable chain mount which the stock mount is removed and you will just use the pivoting regular chain link. It is angled at 2.5 degrees above zero due to the slight amount of sag and keeps most of the chain off the case as it moves back and forth. The bowden tube guides on top are now closed and will fit Capricorn XS, I'm not sure about XL. It only uses one of the rear housing screws to lock it back into place and prints as one piece.
If you are like me, you have been having problems with the wires. Adding 1 wire to the stock housing may have been like adding a hundred. Just added extra length of wire was horrifying. So I had to get creative because there isn't much space back there to work with and I was tired of yanking wires out of the coupler because I couldn't find the space.
I have mounted it and tested the clearance with the gearbox mod but I kept it's outer dimensions mostly the same. Should work on stock or modded printer.
