Genmitsu 3018 Pro Wire Clips

Genmitsu 3018 Pro Cable Clips Instructions

Note: This is just one of many easy enhancements I have posted for the Genmitsu 3018 Pro CNC Router. None of my enhancements require any modifications to the stock hardware. Just bolt them on and go. If you look under my postings you'll see others including the Cable Chain, X,Y & Z Limit Switches, Vacuum Adapter, Cushion Feet, Clamping Set, E-Stop Mount and more.

If you run a CNC much you'll find that organizing the cables is really important. Without proper routing they can become snagged and rip or they can wear out in areas. These clips can help you route your cables and organize them so they are not just hanging all over loose.

There are two specific mounts that tie cables to the Cable Chain Mount bracket (see my Cable Chain project for that file). The other file is a clip that fits onto the 2020 extrusions which comprise the frame of the 3018. To use these just slip your wire into the channel and clip the clip on over them. Print as many as you need. For my printer I used 9 of them in total.

Also I design everything in OpenSCAD which is a free CAD program. I have included all of the source files I made which you can modify as you'd like.

I 3D printed everything using PETG filament with 15% infill and no supports. It probably doesn't matter what filament is used but I find that PLA tends to melt and malform sometimes with temperatures and ABS can be a little brittle when trying to snap the chain links together.
