CR10-V3 Cable Chain by the_algar

This is a Cable chain with supports specifically designed for the CR-10 V3.
My purpose was to designed a Cable chain taht could be installed without any screws or zip tie.
there are 2 supports:
Support_Base_Clamp.stl clamp on the fixed printer element
Support-hot-end_base.stl clamp on the moving hot end element
Both support are designed to clamp to the printer without any screws or zip tie
Both support are designed to be printed with TPU (or Soft PLA but I didn't tested it)
TPU settings needs 100% infill to be resistant enough. (but that depends on your PLU grade)
In my opinion, the flex parts absorbs better any vibration therefore do not generate any extra noise when the chain moves.
All other elements are printed in PLA (eSun eSIlk-PLA metal blue) with 100% infill (for resistance)
and 2 elements connected to the supports (labeled "Top") and they can rotate
Support_Base_top.stl goes with the Support_Base_Clamp
Support_hot-end-Top.stl goes on the Support-hot-end_base
the chain elements are originally from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3715002 by Diogo Santos (thank you) with a little mesh upgrade.
CableChain_link_Cage.stl
CableChain_link_Clips.stl
I also designed a lid to cover the hole on the Base and I gave it an R2D2 shape (just for fun)
