    Hey guyz, Roger Quintero (on You Tube) has come up with this awesome design for a cable chain. We have sent him a message asking if he would be willing to share it here on the Phlatforum with everyone. :good:

    TOTALLY OFF TOPIC

    Mark, did you get my email?

    BACK TO TOPIC

    Didn't we just had someone posting a chain here? Is/was it the same design?

    If you could re-post it that would be great Roger, it seems there are a lot of missing elements from the transfer

    This is a simple cable carrier ( E-Chain ) that I designed using Google SketchUp. Rendering was done with Maxwell Render and G-Code was generated with SketchUCam ( Thank You Phlatboyz.com ). This cable carrier design doesn't require offsets or pocketing on the CNC. There's no need for screws, pins, snap joints or glue to put together. The carrier locks it self in place as you assemble it. I used 1/8" hardboard with an 1/8" bit for this first run but any hard plastic would be a better choice.

    Another version of the cable carrier of my own. Advantages of placing any cable and close. See Video 2
    Disadvantages: Has to be glued.

    Looks good, Diniska! What material are you using. I'm asking since you cut soooo slow. LOL
