DDCSV1.1 4 Axis controller
Joules:
3D printing can improve your cable management. I have just completed the wiring loom for the 4 axis stepper drivers. A mate of mine used to build commercial ROV's, he generally smiled at my wiring, well it paid off as I raised my game, cheers Drew :thumbup:
My own simple design clips, figured 16 would be enough, I went onto use 32 so far. Takes about 8 minutes to print 16 and the basic design can be altered to handle other services or incorporate clips for attachment as required.
It adds a bit of time to the wiring, but vastly improves the appearance and rigidity of it. Get those rats nests under control and know what cables are going where. :zap:

Very nice Jules - makes a nice neat layout :thumbup:
Now can you please add Hellerman sleeves to those wires on the D-Type sockets, I'd have shot my wiremen if they'd left them naked like that :lol:
Joules:
:palm: I knew someone would comment on those after I posted the image. Printed boots in the works now.
Joules:
After appropriate chastisement. I am correcting my ways.... Boot designed.
Printed and fitted.
As I should have done before I posted the first picture :bow:
p.s The front and rear pins are doubled up to spread the current through the connector so sleeves would only come down to the top of the pin.
awemawson:
Very neat, but the idea of the Hellerman sleeves is to ensure that there are no stray strands between ways, and no hairs of solder either. The sleeve is threaded on and pulled over the joints one by one as they are made. They also give a little support to the wire, not that that is needed in your application.
... still very neat covers though :thumbup:
