Obstructing the viewing panels

[cilyjr]

To me, it seems important to not obstruct the viewing panels of a display.

Meaning if you've got 3 viewable sides they should be that. This is an issue for pump placement. Not to mention cable management in the display area.

I've had 4 MP40s on the back wall for a while, but wanted to add some laminar flow pumps.
My solution was mounting them on the cross braces. What would you have done?

I managed the cables using a bracket I printed. I do not want cables all haphazard in the display area.

That’s relatively ingenious! Can’t say I ever would have thought of that.

My only concern might be if the vibration affects the bracing overtime (like some braces have cracked over time) so if the pump vibration would accelerate that?

I wouldn't worry about that anymore then mounting it on the side panel these braces are 5/8 thick. But it's a valid point for those with thin plastic.
