It do the job !

The design is really nice. I like the idea and printed it. Parts works fine together, but my display cable seems to be short... I am not able to place it below on the lack since the cable doesn't reach there unless the printer is at the edge and than I can close the door. Did you replace the display cable as well? Or did I missed something? If so can you paste a link where did you purchased linger cable as I didn't found one in prusa shop...

I don't recall replacing the cables. I think I just unbound them from the frame and they were long enough. It's been quite a while so I could have forgotten but I think I'd remember having to track down a longer cable set.

I was not able to reach using the out-of-the-box cable routing (well, I have the kit, so more accurately: it didn't reach using the routing from the instructions), but I was able to reach by re-routing the existing cable.

My ribbon cable now comes out of the motherboard case and straight down, through the first zip tie, then under the case and under the Z-axis motor, kinda diagonally toward the underside of the area under the build plate) where it ends up between the two aluminum extrusions, but up against the closer one. From there, it runs along the extrusion and out the front.

I also printed a pair of these clips ( https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/127998-prusa-i3-lcd-cable-clips-holders) which hold it against the extrusion (one on the bottom, and one on the inner side as it gets close to the front).
