The base model was good, but I kept on having breakage due to some weak points.
## Physical Changes:
- Reinforced tabs for holding cords on both the links and the cold end.
- Added large filets to links to allow movement both ways. This was necessary because during the homing the first and second links would collide with the frame causing the first cable to pop off the hotend mount. The filets allow movements but don't pinch the cables.
- Redesigned the male "balls" for the link connection. This produced a more consistent print as well as removed a lot of play in the links while still allowing movement and ease of installation and removal.
- Added extra supports to the hotend where it mounts onto the roller assembly.
- Strengthened all the parts that take any type of pressure by either increasing thickness and or adding fillets or chamfers to eliminate 90-degree angles that are likely to cause breakage during installation.
- Added general filets and/or chamfers to cable links a
