Made a simple cable guide.
I was having issues with the extruder/x-carriage cable assembly getting in the way of the x-carriage home switch sometimes while homing and also just generally being in the way while printing. I made this guide to hold the cable assembly out away from the printer a little bit to keep it out of the way. It worked out pretty well so I thought I would share it. I just mounted it with some cable ties but you could put a few screws in it if you wanted instead.

Nice. I'm fighting with cable routing right now.

Yep it is a pain to get everything routed so it doesn't hang up on something. I was always worried that the cable was going to catch on something and rip wires out or bend something in the process. With the cable guide it puts the cable out far enough that it clears everything now.
The black cable loom can be purchased at walmart in the automotive electrical section.
