    Bangood has a host of sizes available up to 25 x 77mm at minimal cost. I think I got the 15 x 40 for my machine and have all the cables inc spindle power and cooling hoses in there.

    With regards to CY cable. Is it best practice to buy shielded 2 core cable to keep step and direction signals apart in order to limit interference. Or do i use 4 core?
    Regards Chris.

    The CY goes between the motor and the driver, carrying the A+ A- B+ B- rather than step and direction.

    In the electronics cab between the breakout and the driver you want something like CAT5, keeping step + and - to a single twisted pair, and dir to another pair.
