3D Printing Cable Management on sleds?

[markg]

What kind of cable management are you doing on printed ebay sleds? Do you print little clips for wires or just add some holes for zip ties? Post some pics of what you've done. I currently debating between those two options and would like to see what others have done already.

cheers - mark

Not much management, I just secure them with zip ties..

On my most recent av-bay I added holes for zip ties. Since it's hard to route wires in fusion, actually printed one without it, installed everything and wired it up to see where I needed the ties. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of the actual. It met an unfortunate end. A new version is in the works.

I haven't done it yet but I was thinking of having a couple of posts (say 2mm diameter) near each other every so often. The wires can be run between them and then a dob of hot-melt glue over the top. The glue can be removed later if re-wiring is needed.

Have seen a lot of people use cable ties on 3d printed sleds, with slots to put them through.

I have traditionally used G10 sleds and just tack the wires down using Loctite 401 CA glue where necessary.

zip ties are the way to go.
