If you don’t like the [drag chain extenders for additional water cooling hoses](https://www.onefinitycnc.com/product-page/elite-drag-chain-extenders-for-water-cooled-spindle-lines), you can add an additional cable/hose routing system. There is [a simple solution if you find drag chains too complicated](https://youtu.be/lU0iZKajpoo?t=629) that you could use additionally to the existing drag chain, or simply [attach some elastic band to the ceiling](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/new-member-new-journeyman-drag-chains-dust-collection-spindle-grounding/8183/20).
