Solving the "Trolley Problem"

Hey Guys,

I was bored waiting for my surfacing to finish, so I thought I’d show you my solution to vaccum hose and cable management. I added a trolley to the underside of my table using scrap MDF, bearings, and 3d printed parts.

I think the biggest benefit of the trolley is that it offloads the weight of the power cables and vaccum hose preventing tugging on the gantry, but I believe it also prevents cable snags too.

The trolley holds a little power bar for the router and the power brick for the low rider, and also the vaccum hose. It works really well actually, I haven’t had a snag yet. If anyone has opinions on this setup, I’m all ears.

That is cool! I might have to try that on my new full sheet build!
