Primo : endstop cable management

Hi,

Is there a nice way to position endstop cables on the primo ?

Cable may touch the belt or the middle bearing. Looks like it should be attached somewhere but I don’t know how.

What is the purpose of the “Wire Darryl” part ? I don’t understand what “Darryl” mean. Is it a guide for cables or something ?

Thanks,
Julien

This is how I have… use some zip-ties and you are done.


The Wire Darryl is to help you with cable management… now if you wanna know what it means you should ask @barry99705 :sweat_smile: :rofl: :joy:
Sorry Barry I had to…

The wire Darryl is also used to set your pulley height.

@gpagnozzi I still don’t understand how you use it for cable management. :grin: Do you have any photos?

Sorry bud… I don’t have any pictures as I don’t use it, but you can you add the wire Darryl to the corner with the Belt tensioner screw and zip-tie your cables/cable mesh or anything that you are using right to it.

According to Ryan,

The wire darryl goes on any belt clamp screw. It just gives you a place to fasten wires to. In that dewalt picture I have mine in the back right corner and all my wires are zip tied to it."

This was pulled from a huge topic, or I would have just sent you to the topic rather than quoting Ryan.

Thank you,

I dug into the monstrous topic and extracted this picture from Ryan.

Can someone point out the wire darryl in that picture?

@gividen the wire darryl is not in this picture.

My original topic was about cable management for endstops, and the picture shows how Ryan did it. I did the same on my machine.

As I understand it, the wire darryl can be used at machine corners : if you use it like a washer on the belt tensionner screw, it gives an anchor for cables along the machine. Personnaly I use drag chains for this purpose and I didn’t use the wire darryl.

Thanks. I’m thinking I will print some chains. Can you recommend a chain?
