Mimic the motion of the axis to get a good idea where to mount the
fixed end and how long the carrier needs to be.
2. Pull the wires through the carrier. A hooked wire or tape on a straight
wire helps. When running multiple groups of similar colors through,
mark each set differently with sharpie or tape.
Use a helper wire to thread the cable carriers. Here, four of the eight
wires have a tape wrap to indicate that they belong to the same
motor
The wires are probably not long enough to pull through with a bend,
so carefully work the ends free.
3. After you’ve located where the fixed end will be, cut a small piece of
double-sided tape, and firmly squish the carrier down. For these
Shapeoko mills, make sure nothing crosses the center line in the
extrusion.
Here, the tape is being dispensed directly onto the location and cut
right in place. Notice that it does not cross the center line.
