Anyone have an opinion on the best way to secure the wires running to the z axis? The width of my machine is almost 6 feet. Car antenna with the wire attached? I've seen the snake type track, but that won't work in my case the gear rack is in the way. -Matt  |

| Use a cable track vertically - there's even someone here making their own. Edit - the Y axis track would be horizontal of course, the track section going to Z would be vertical. How much Z stroke are you dealing with? Scott

| Thanks for the link that's a great help. I knew it had a name just couldn't remember the exact words. I think the z goes up and down about 6" but the motor is stationary on top so I need to run it down and then up about a foot. -Matt |
