When I saw the cable management improvements on the 600 ver.2 I was prompted to try something similar on my ver.1.....
Photo explains all - but it was simple to rearrange the cabling using the existing wiring loom. The wires from the X axis motor need shortening & the cutoffs soldering to the Z axis wires to extend them. Thats all - the only extras required are some heatshrink and some cabletie/standoffs.
Now I can use long material lengths without the hassle of snagging the cabling...
Also -I was always catching or damaging the plug-in connectors at the edge of the machine - so I have turned the circuit board thru 180 & lead out the cables thru a cable tidy. Now its impossible to damage these vulnerable components.(When you are used to the machine - you don't need to see the indicator lights all the time!)

Hi Stuart,
looks nice, but are you sure it's a better solution? I see the problem of jamming the power cord of the spindle. I cnc'ed two cable clips. This is doing the job perfectly:

Hi Speedo,
yes, its a big improvement - materials much longer than the bed (typically 900 - 1200mm) are no longer a problem -I was always watching the cabling for snagging. Now , I can leave it unattended & just listen to the spindle stopping from another room!
Re the spindle cabling - should have taken the photo with the cable in its proper place - clipped overhead with an elastic tensioner!
When I did the mod I just stuck the circuit board in place with 4 pieces of 1.5mm double sided mounting tape, with the intention of bolting in place later - but the fixing was so firm, I decided to leave it.
