Sleeves and Drag Chain

Sleeves and drag chains are essential printer parts that play significant roles in maintaining smooth and efficient operation. Sleeves, also known as bushings, are cylindrical components that minimize friction between moving parts, ensuring precise and reliable movement. They are commonly used in 3D printers to reduce wear and prolong the lifespan of components such as rods and shafts. 

Drag chains, on the other hand, are protective cable carriers that prevent tangling and damage to electrical cables, wires, or hoses. These chains, composed of interconnected links, guide and secure the cables, providing organized and reliable cable management. Together, sleeves and drag chains enhance the overall performance and longevity of 3D printers and other mechanical systems.
