There is some progress on the wire management duct remix (original is credit to RyanDam's Cable Management Duct). I still need to test these but the models at least seem to work. I used the STEP files from the Voron Github to model some custom ducts which are tailored for a 350mm R2.4, however I think that they could work with other sizes, possibly with modifications. I wanted to keep the AC wires separated from the low voltage stuff, so my solution was to keep all the AC wiring down in the lower left side of the image below. The ducts which will hold the AC wires will end at the 24V power supply, and there will be a box that will help to manage them as well. The 5V DC will have a breakout box with two 221-415 WAGO's (one for positive and one for ground), which will be located somewhat centrally to the ductwork in the upper left side.
The most difficult part of this design are the covers, particularly the covers which need to step up and over the DIN rails. These are hinged so they can print flat, however getting the hinges right is a challenge (the first ones I printed were fused). I'm not sure if this will be the final design, but it may be close. If my prints come out OK, I will post this up to Printables.
Update 5/12/2023: The basic design for the hinged covers is working, but I now just need to tweak the fit a bit. My Ender3 also blew out it's heatbreak which set me back a bit replacing the block, heatbreak and nozzle (and having to reprint a melted air duct for it).

Update 6/2/2023: This project is almost done, I am just printing the parts to confirm everything fits. Unfortunately my Ender3 is having some random layer shift problem which I need to investigate when I get some time. Getting the hinged step top cover fitting like I wanted also has taken some time, but it seems good now. There will be some optional multicolor prints to emboss some text, but it will not be required. The next update will hopefully have a link to the files and some more pics.
Update 6/10/2023: These are all printed and installed, but I am waiting until I complete the wiring to post them (probably a week since I'm waiting on some materials).
Update 6/15/2023: The wire management ducts are posted on Printables:
