Root 3 CNC (Retro) - Installing the X-Axis Drag Chain

This is a retroactive post from earlier in the build process...

The X-Axis cable drag chain was installed mostly per specs.  One additional 3D Printed part was created as a small lift in order to keep the chain from bumping the upper motor (the original clearance was a little too close for my over-engineering tendencies).

Note that in some pictures the motors have spade terminals connected to them for testing purposes, but the final solution was implemented using a screw-down terminal block.

The Y-Axis Belts were installed by clamping one end then routing the belt through the assembly, then finally clamping the other end:

Root 3 CNC (Retro) - Installing the Y-Axis Motion Link

This is a retroactive post from earlier in the build process...

The Y-Axis Motion link was installed with a slight deviation from the original 3D-Printed parts for the Root 3.  The original motion link mount would not work due to the type of screws used for installation:

Their footprint was too large, and hit the screws on the Y-Axis mounts.  To solve the problem, a smaller version of the motion link was printed and installed:

The Y-Axis Motors (Y1 & Y2) were installed and connected to screw-down terminals to allow for easy replacement.
