Channel-Log at the end of this document

These chains, mostly used in industrial environments and high speed printers such as VORON, are the best ally to maintain the curvature of the cable and avoid damaging the same area of the cable with repeated movements.

The chains make the cable tension points travel along the entire length of the cable. For this reason, not only one area of the cable suffers, but all areas suffer equally. By not always stressing the same point of the cable, the longevity of the cable is greatly increased.

As always in 3D print Mods: Use as your risk :)

Beneficts:
- Increased cable durability.

- The cable suffers at all points, not just at one specific point.
- The cable passes through the points of tension and relief in each zone of the cable section.

- No Sound
- Stiffness of the chain structure
- Protection against shocks
