Zip Ties?

I know this might sound strange, but what sizes of zip ties are used on the MK2?

My "plan ahead" tendency is kicking in. It's pretty important for me anyways to have spares on hand in the event I'm in the middle of a job and need to do maintenance or even a mod Saturday. 🙂

Thanks guys, if you could measure. I have a prebuilt so no extras were included.

Yeah, its that guy... 3D Nexus

Re: Zip Ties?

I also got a prebuilt and went and bought the smallest ziptie bundle I could find in the Automotive dept of Wal-Mart.

Cable Ties, 4" black & natural, 50 pieces. Barcode: 0-43225-00112-4

Dimensions PNG

and an 8 inch (200mm) or greater caliper is recommended.

2.5 x 100 and 2.5 x 160. The 100mm are used everywhere. A single 160 is found at the cable management on the back of the extruder.

Re: Zip Ties?

I had the same question, bought an assembled unit w/out any extra zip ties included. I did see some in HomeDepot in an assortment pack, but wasn't sure of the exact size needed.
