Looking for dragchains mods
I've noticed that the heatbed cables are not bending uniformly and think they will break faster the way they bend at the moment.
I have found some designs that place the cable/chain directly behind the printer, adding more needed space.
I was looking to see if there was one that hooks into the outer-most top venting holes on the electronics lid. Perhaps with a 45degree angle from the heatbed connector.
Ideally i would like the chain-ends to be fastend by screws or zip-ties to both the heatbed connector as well as the top venting holes.
And before i go design my own, i wonder if there is already a similar setup already made, but not published anywhere.
Happy printing.

Yes, but for the y-axis (heatbed).
This one https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/27742-prusa-mini-cable-chains-x-axis-motor-heatbed have it going all to the rear.
This one https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/73701-cr-10-max-cable-chain-guard is more how i visualised it, as you would only need to make alterations to the lid, not the electronics box itself.
I'm thinking of combining the dragchain with the lid with a fanmount for electronics-cooling when printing in an enclosure.
