Cable management on an SO3 is something of a user-defined experience which varies somewhat by when the machine was made.
Basically, if it looks stupid and it works, it’s not stupid, so pretty much any arrangement which suits ones skills and available materials and so forth should be fine.
Things which help:
- drilling and tapping holes is a lot more secure and lasting than the adhesive (though the VHB adhesive, properly applied to a clean surface and not subjected to torsion is incredibly long-lasting)
- strategic usage of additional plates or even a length of aluminum angle can help a lot
- strategically using zip ties and taking advantage of extra length on them to afford additional stress relief/guidance seems to help a lot
