[title] Route the Z axis Stepper wires
[* 6] Route the Z-stepper wires as shown in the picture.
[* 6] Use a zip tie to constrain it to the mill_stepper_cable_managment printed part, then through the mill_z_tower_top printed part and inside the Z tower. Finally exit at the rear, above the Y stepper and into the electronics enclosure or your desired location. Leave an extra 300mm (at least) to route it to the controller and crimp the connector.
[* 4] Cut the wires to the final length, double check if the cable has the appropriate length before cutting.
[* 5] Label the cable at the end, with a piece of duct tape for example.
[* 2] Crimp the JST-XH into the wires ensuring the crimp has a solid connection to the wire core.
-[* 3] Inset the crimps into the JST-XH housing, to follow the wire colour scheme to preserve the motor coil pairs

[* 9] Should the integrity of the motor coil pairs not be maintained, the motor will experience impaired operational functionality.
