Neptune 3 / 4 Series Cable Chain

update(mar 01, 2025): 4Pro has been made compatible by Woodworker - see remixes

update(jan 24, 2025): 4pro is currently incompatible with the section ZMount<>Extruder cause it a very different mounting plate - just follow the recommended path!

This chain system is trying to overcome some shortcommings of the original Chain system for the Neptune 4 Series. There are Adapter-chainlinks available so you can mix and match the old and new system if you like.

Features

- tighter tollerances - less sag - strainrelief for the x Axis stepper and Limit switch cable - N4 Plus/Max compatible - mulitple Options regarding Z-Mount to Extruder Assembly chaining - STEP File available - seperate PDF file containing some tips on how to use the various Parts of this system - large internal volume chain links and - outside cable tie mounts(TBD) - Adapter from and to the old system to allow use of anything that was original build for the old system Printing Recommendations
