    These wires are eventually going to get shreded up aginst this rod.



    Need to figure out how to protect them while allowing them to move freely.

    Yikes! Can't just use a plastic cable sleeve Justin? I'm not really sure 'cause my printer isn't here yet, but just a thought..

    I would prefer a way that doesn't include disconnecting anything. I've been known to break 2 things while trying to fix 1 thing. Lol.

    RoBo 3D Creators have said they will be protecting these wires for now on.

    It's not a big deal. I just posted it here so the creators would be made aware of it. I will just wrap them up. The printer prints great. I am very happy with it.

    Nice Justin! Real nice quality. The corners look nice and sharp; quite a bit better than what I was expecting. Thanks for posting all the pictures and video. I'm loving all the eye candy!

    My issues was more on the other side where the wires moves back and forth and come into close proximity of the limit switch for the z axis I actually printed a small object that slides into one of the slots on the inside of the casing and it keeps the wires down and nowhere near the limit switch but still allows them to move freely check it out in sliciverse

    This I actually a mount but I'm going to design something that covers the moving part that looks lik this. I will just double back tape it in place.
