This replacement start link for the x-axis cable drag chain is designed to improve the functionality of your Monoprice Maker Select or Wanhao Duplicator i3 3D printer. The original start link can create an inappropriate angle and slight vertical stress on the cable drag chain, which can potentially lead to unnecessary wear and tear on the cables and the drag chain itself over time.
By replacing the existing start link with this optimised solution, you achieve a straighter and stress-free routing of the cables along the x-axis. The design completely replaces the first link in the cable drag chain and is constructed to reuse the existing standard screws, so you don't need to purchase additional mounting equipment. The built-in offset ensures a correct and stable placement that supports a smooth and reliable movement of your printer's x-axis.
This helps to reduce stress on the cables and potentially improve performance and the lifespan of your printer by optimising cable management. A practical and simple upgrade component for a smoother 3D printing experience.
