Re: How to wire unrealistically well?

I am generally really picky when it comes to wiring. The biggest thing I notice when it comes to wiring is make sure you dedicate space to the electronics. Often, the electronics are placed where they fit and not properly assigned a spot. Another thing that makes electronics messy is constantly fiddling with them. Moving them for other components, adding more electronics as parts are added and so on. When setting up an electronics board think about how the wires are going to run while setting up the layout. Wire way can be a nice addition to an electronics board as well as wire wrap for bundles of cable. As pretty much everyone has said, Zip Ties. Make sure to use them properly. If you are adding wire to an existing bundle of cable, cut the old zip ties as you add the new ones. It can make it look a LOT better. Labeling can help when there are connection that may appear as though they could go to multiple places (Side Car). Most often I don't see a need to label power because if cut to the proper length it is easy to see where they should go. Wire can also go in places that may otherwise be wasted (inside square tubing, tied inside C-channel and other enclosed areas that are safe) .One thing that can help is practice. The more electronics boards you build the more you will find ways to make them look better.
