The first loop goes from the heated bed to the top part of the y-axis
carrier. The loop should be just big enough for the y-table to move freely.
But small enough to have enough wire to go to the ramps electronics.
Check the loop when the axis is moved by hand from one extreme
position to the other.
Make sure the wires are connected to the small aluminum beam by
means of a cable-tie, indicated with the arrow above. It is necessary to
prevent any strain on the thermistor cable.

Make sure the loop is intermitted at the top part of the z-axis carrier.
Mount it there with a cable tie. Then make the second loop from the z-
axis carrier to the vertical beam. The second loop should go into the
vertical beam at approx. the middle.
Try to keep it in place with the provided plastic frame strips. Cut off a
small piece, remove remaining sharp edges and place it onto the frame.

10.4 Connect the opto sensors

Now we are going to connect all the opto-sensor wires. Start from the
ramps case. Try to group the three cables together and try to make a
small loop before the cables go into the casing. This could be useful for
later use, when possibly to do a printer upgrade, additional cable length is
required.
