    Default Need a vector of the cable guide for the PRTAlpha96

    Hey Guys,
    Does anyone have a vector for the cable guide for an PRTAlpha96? I know it would be simple to draw one up but just don't have time right now.

    Do you mean the arch? If so... please replace it with energy chain. EBay always has good deals on it. When my arch broke, a series of unfortunate events caused me to damage my main board... E chain is much cheaper!

    Steve,
    Yes the arch. I have a piece of lexan left over from a job that would work great. Enough to cut 2. E-chain will be an option in the future.

    I looked for my sketch of it. Can't find it. Probably because I looked at it, and the echain I had had on the previous machine, and I called shopbot and ordered the new machine an echain instead.

    I have had both, and I like the echain a LOT more. If you have enough room, I also like the echain for the x axis. Currently, with a 5 x 10 in my small shop, I don't have enough room for echain on my X...

    YMMV.
