I dont know , its a upgrade from shapeoko i think. So i dont have the right hole patterns in mine gantry plates and Xcarriage , Thats why i wondered ,when i should bee doing a big upgrade and remove the Cables and replace them with new motorcable , If it was a good idé to add the new drag chain kit as well ?
