Why not go for a CANBUS toolhead with umbilical cable? That ditches the chains too and doesn't require that many new parts to print.
USB > CAN IMO, but as I said in my post that's going to require some printed parts which means I need to fix my wire break, which means the printer will be working again, which means I can put off a decision for a while.
LDO's nighthawk looks very tempting though. I'll probably buy the parts, fix my printer, print what I need, and put it all aside for my next wire break.
