Comment on What do you use to keep the cables out of the way?

I would suggest zip ties and rerouting/moving the filament feed tube to be ran along with the wires. Generally, when snuggly bundled the lot becomes stiff enough to keep it free.
Otherwise cable chains- but with a system that moves in x and why, you will have to chain to the x slide and then the y slide to see any real benefit- they’re supposed to roll on a single axis…. And this would considerably increase the length of the over all run.

I specifically moved the filament feed tube to the front so that the whole thing is more accessible and easier to handle, by default the whole stuff is at the end but I found it too annoying to always have to grab/reach through my printer under the bed to do anything with the filament.
I did try using a spare PTFE tube for the cables but this didn’t really help that much. But I must say, I have fewer issues with the cables, the filament feed tube is more of an issue I want to address.
