8.8 – Routing the wires & binding them.
For this task, you'll need seven small wire ties.
Before you can tie the wiring down, you'll need to make sure that you've got enough wire pulled
through the towers. For the 18ga (and 26ga) wires coming out of the X tower and the 26ga wires
coming from the Z tower, you'll need to ensure there's 30” of wire. Measure from the center hole in the
top plate base to the outside edge of the base as shown.
Having 30” of wire will ensure that there's enough to both
reach the hot end & fans, as well as the RAMBo board.
In order to prevent the belts from rubbing on the wires
coming out of the towers, they'll need to be tied out of the way.
Take a wire tie and bind the hot end wires to the side of
the tower mount using a wire tie.
Lift the idler up to the top of its range of motion to give
yourself a bit more room to work.
When you tie down the end-stop wires coming out of the Y tower, you should carefully take the
slack out of the wires before you pull the zip tie fully tight.
Before you tie down the wires coming out of the Z tower,
you'll want to pull the 22ga wires from the bottom until there's
around 7” coming out of the top of the tower.
