Ender 3

Recently I browsed Thingiverse and Printables for models to improve the cable management on my Ender 3 S1. Here's what I decided to print:

This cable chain makes the ribbon cable fold toward the rear instead of the left, saving lots of desk space. I printed 16 chain links to reach z=270. See the original model for more photos.

This extruder cable holder (V03.1 is better) fits over the existing cable holder and keeps the ribbon vertical to reduce strain. In Klipper, I reduced my stepper_x position_max from 249 to 241 to prevent bumping the frame on the right.

I noticed some alternatives that route the cable in front of the frame, but they seem incompatible with a rear-folding chain. Some designs route a chain all the way to the head assembly, but I don't want unnecessary mass there.

Next I plan to print strain relief for the bed heater cable.

I made a couple of laser bed nail boards for my Creality Falcon Module on my Ender 3 V2.

I originally made this model for a nail board, that used the bamboo cutting board from Dollar Tree.

I started by making a template in Fusion 360 and exporting a DXF file for LightBurn. (The export is completely doable with a personal license - with just a few extra steps)

And glued some magnets on the bottom to keep them from moving around.

I used:

2 ea. Dollar Tree Bamboo board

1 ea. Dollar Tree 9 x 13 Aluminum pan

3 ea. Home Depot #16 x 1-1/4in Wire Nails (1oz package)
