@requiem OK I feel less bad now about the state of my Prusa Mini with cables not run according to the manual…

@erik I stopped tying them up because inevitably each time I did something would break and I’d have to undress them again.

It’s superstitious but also works.

@requiem I gotta respect the unbridled chaos on display here, that wiring almost dealt me psychic damage haha

@kellenoffdagrid I’m pleasantly surprised by how many people have reacted to viscerally to that.

This was typical during the dawn of desktop manufacturing 😁😁😁

@requiem fair point, now that I think about it, an old desktop I used as my first server, as well as my original Xbox, have similarly "jank" cabling. The ol' "if it works, it works" ethos applies well here!

@kellenoffdagrid I may have mentioned this in another thread, but there is a bit of magik going on here as well.

Many times I would tidy-up the wiring only to have something fail shortly thereafter necessitating the un-tidying of the wires. After awhile it seems that as soon as I cleaned things up something else would break, so I stopped cleaning them up 😇
