Ok, another Noobie question. Where do I purchase the wire management chain? What size did you get? And how do/did you guys mount it? I have some ideas on how to do it, but would like your input.

I don't recall where I purchased it from, but it is called and e chain, and I am pretty sure the forum gave me the website (for managing wires going across the gantry) McMaster?

The decimal point seems to be the most important on the z axis... x & y not so much....
ShopBot... Where even the scraps and things you mess up and throw away are cool....
I got 2 of these (e chain, can be attached together) for my x axis, works great. Probably larger than needed but with a spindle and other accessiories it was needed.

Joe,
In the process of changing my 2006 PRT cable management to e chain. Can you post a couple pics of your setup and how the e chain from Amazon attached together? TIA
