Linked Cable/wire Guides ????

[frinkdaddy]

Where can I get, or how can I make those cool, linked, cable and wire guides that give one's machine that polished look, and help tame that mess of tangled wires running to my steppers and limit switches ??
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!!!!!!

Do a search for cable and hose track, There are a few a manufacturers.
All.

Consensus among McMaster and MSC is to call it "Cable and Hose Carrier."

I bought some from McMaster recently. Search for 1357, "cable carrier" or the string 5570k44

MSC also carries "Kabel-Schlepp" which is my favorite brand name. They also carry Igus which is the stuff that seems to show up on Ebay most frequently.

Cable carriers are not particularly cheap.

The $15/ft seemed high to this cheapskate so a $3.00 stud was the raw material for this.
Show and tell on my site. "Second Machine, page 5"
