Description

This is a side-mount drag-chain for the Sidewinder X1. This differs from other remixes in that it:

  • Accounts for clearance between the z-axis extrusion, z-axis cover, and the bed arm.
  • Lowers the bed arm slightly to bring the 90-degree cover a bit further down to account for those of us who use a BLTouch
  • Integrates over-rotation prevention to attempt to keep the chain from "bulging" and evenly distribute the flex points over the length of the cable
  • Does not require T-Nuts for fixing to the Z-Axis
  • A few other subtle tweaks
  • Can be printed without supports, or (if you must) strictly build-plate supports

Additionally I have provided a rigid length that will further clean up the look. This rigid section also includes a notch that accommodates the linked "remixed" gantry stiffeners, bringing the look together even further.

As far as I am concerned, this is the final side-chain mod STL you will ever need.

Do, however, note that the fit of the z-axis sensor connector is VERY tight. When installing, make sure not to over-stress this connector, and make sure it is ACTUALLY tucked inside the little chamber before securing to the z-axis extrusion.
