    Does anyone have any photos of a completed WorkBee 1515? The drag chains and random wires sent to me from SPAM 3D don't seem to match up with any documentation that I can find. SPAM 3D is no help. Their support seemed decent at first, but every time I ask them a question, they direct me to screw driven documentation, which is no help at all. I'm at the Screw the instructions, I'll just figure it out point. I just haven't seen any WorkBees with drag chains on both belt driven y axes and I'm also curious how people set up all the components that just float around the mechanical assembly, so some photos would be super helpful. If there was someone local that could help, I would just pay them for assistance at this point.

    I thought there was only drag chain on one side of belt driven machines. The Y stepper wiring is fed from one side through the extrusion to the other side where both sets of Y wiring as well as x and z will then go into one drag chain.That is how I saw it on the Ox and how it appears to look on the official OpenBuilds video for the Workbee.

    Thanks for the reply! The instructions I have seen were for smaller WorkBees and it appeared that there was only 1 Y stepper. I just found this video:



    Where you talking about that one by chance? It looks promising, but I will look at whatever you have too. Thanks!

    SPAM didn't send me that cool wire cover like in the video, it looks like what you are describing, for sure!

    I was. You can see the wires feeding into the extrusion.
