    Ultimately, they don't need to have a hex shape. They could look like flames on MET or ACDC, be a bit larger without obstructing the players view, illuminated, and possibly hold the wires without needing to unsolder. The side facing away from the player could be completely slotted.

    Quoted from swinks:

    How about this Tim, Hex post with a extension for the wire to travel up through. Happy to give you the design as STL's to help you out or at least try. This is a 1 inch tall transparent red version with a cut out at the top and bottom for the wires to enter and exit without the need to drill holes into plastics etc. Happy to do a bunch of stl files at all different heights for nothing.

    Looks nice, but the wires would need to be unsoldered, run through the channel, then resoldered. A slit in the channel with the channel facing away from the player might work, though the wires would need to double-back at the top.

    A lot of great ideas here, but I still want to see them shaped like something cool. Badass flames or boulders or a pile of skulls or my prenup or something. WORK HARDER GUYS *cough* (being sarcastic, forgot this was pinside for a second)
