Almost up to wiring. Is there a detailed write up on the tape measure trick?

Mostly Printed CNC - MPCNC Advice

Hi all. I’m nearly up to wiring my MPCNC, and I’ve got some braid sleeve (might need to by some larger stuff for the tape measure) but I can’t find a very detailed guide to the tape measure trick.

I’ve gone over the “Red/Black Milwakee” build with a fine tooth comb, but some detail photos of the joins, connections, lengths to run etc would be good.

This is about all there is on that subject as far a I can find.

This is how I used it for the lowrider. Maybe the pictures can help you visualize it for your application.

Ryan, I mean where to ziptie, which direction, how long etc.

I think you are overthinking it. Just zip them into a convenient place.
