Nice to know it all fits B-)
I’m not sure popcorn ball joints are meant for this kind of continuous motion on a system. That’s why drag chain is used - it has a pivot which is meant to pivot and doesn’t rely on friction fit.
I love that cable chain. Great idea
I’m with you @ThantiK there is a lot of surface area in contact that will be causing a lot of friction. I don’t think it will be any kind of catastrophic failure but there will be a lot of plastic dust raining down on the bed.
@ThantiK Ive had it before. Its not a tight fit. Its a loose fit. Works perfectly. Try not telling others why something is used or not. I see you do it all the time. Just cause you didnt see it anywhere does not mean it wont work. Had this in (only smaller diameter) for 1.5years now. Cables looks fine and balljoints are perfekt. Also this can freely move over the whole lenght while a cablechain bends in a smaller radius at the same spots the whole time.
Also this moves over two axis not only one.
That are the old ones.

@VolksTrieb looks like something interesting to check out. i’m not entirely happy with my drag-chain. would you be willing to share that design? i’d be interested in giving it a try.
@Tom_Keidar
Yes I can send it to you. Thou youll need to change the connectiions for your printer and maybe the size. This is very big 
@Mark_Rehorst
Yes I know this from a friend and thats the best way but has its limits too (current, gets very wide with 2 extruders)
Next printer will definatly gets this if possible 
I like those cables and colors!
I learned my lesson a long time ago about closed cable runs, never again. If you have to pull out one wire to replace it, or add another wire later on it’s a nightmare.
@Steve_M thats true. But youll get it out pretty easy in this case. Also never had a broken wire in this one.
