A1 AMS Hub Lite Mod with Mount 5-Hole Version by 3D Imagination - MakerWorld

Another iteration of an A1 AMS support. I drew inspiration from several existing models. I have consolidated several aspects. For instance, this chain https://makerworld.com/de/models/780999-diamond-back-a1-drag-chain-for-a1-a1-mini?from=search#profileId-718099 can be directly connected to the support. The cable is clamped from the rear, and the four PTFE tubes are neatly guided downwards and stabilized at the front. I might incorporate a Y-adapter later. This is my initial design. Enjoy! It should be printed with supports. The gray part is PCTG from Fiberlogy, and the black part is PLA+ from Sunlu. Both are highly durable and function with the same print profile. I welcome suggestions for improvement :-). Enjoy!

New:

Today, I added another connector for a cable drag chain to the adapter.

First, I would like to express my gratitude to Kar Fai: A1mini X-Axis Print Head Drag Chain by Kar Fai - MakerWorld and jkoczera: Drag Chain L18mm by jkoczera - MakerWorld for their excellent designs. The motor mount is based on Kar Fai's design. However, his drag chain proved too weak, prompting me to utilize and adapt jkoczera's design.

I believe the result speaks for itself. It fully serves its purpose for me. Therefore, I want to share it with you. Perhaps some of you will also find it appealing :-) . It was again printed with PTEG; however, if you have gray PCTG, you should use that. It looks even better and is even more stable. Except for the chain links, please print them with support (tree structure). This should already be pre-set in my profile. I have also compiled a print plate with all the chain links you need. 26 links and 27 clips are required. The clip on the motor mount needs to be slightly shortened lengthwise with side cutters for it to snap into place. Enjoy, and I look forward to your comments. :-)

Update:

I noticed that the movement of the print head can cause the mount to loosen. Therefore, I designed a retaining clip to easily secure the mount. To insert the clip, it must first be fed upside down through the opening of the mount and then rotated (see photo). This should provide more stability.

Update 2:

Someone requested a version without a cable drag chain but with a Y-adapter. I haven't printed it yet, but I've uploaded it. It will work the same way, as only the cable drag chain has been removed. Don't forget to print the retaining clip ;-). Enjoy.

PS: Currently undergoing further revision by me. Please be patient.
