Controller mounting and wire management- X35 QCW

[Crooked_SawDust (JoeC)]

Hoping to poll the audience. I have an original Woodworker (X35; BB controller) on a QCW system. I’ve continuously upgraded my setup throughout the years. I now have a 24W JTech laser, the 4th axis, redline 80mm spindle, and most recently, the BB Auto Tool Changer. As I’m installing my new ATC parts and the easy controller, I’ve come to the realization that the space under the machine is crowded and a jungle of wires.

Do any of you have a recommended way of mounting all of the controllers, wires, power strip, etc.. under the machine so they: 1) are protected from the majority of dust and debris; 2) are easy to access the different controllers, 3) manage the wires to reduce stress on the different parts. I also have the air assist pump for the laser, a web camera, and the rowdy roman dust collector hose arm.

Thanks for any input or recommendations from the community (or Onefinity)

I used some adhesive zip tie holders, and some wire loom and in a few spots used some loom clamps with some self tapping screws.

Thank you for the wire management suggestions. How are you mounting all of your different controllers? I’ve run out of ergonomic real estate just mounting to the underside of the wasteboard.
