Is the panel flexible at all? Can you slit it to the hole (cable size) them twist it open enough to slide the cable in? Maybe a little heat to help the twist.

That's looks like a nice enclosure, is it metal?

It’s definitely flexible as I 3D printed it. Also easy enough to design a new one with a cutout in it.
It’s a Vevor enclosure. I think it was $150. Super impressed by it. Grounded and removable backplane, two locks and weatherstrip on the door. Definitely recommend if you need such a thing.

Made a cable clamp for the one cable I can’t fit through a fitting.
I’ll drill a hole through the plate in the enclosure, pass the fitting through and clamp it from the inside so it can’t be pulled out

@YYCHM this is one of the many reasons I think a 3D printer is a must have for a shop.

Electronics enclosure almost ready!
240V AC in, with breaker and emergency off switch.
48V DC for servo drives in.
24V for MASSO, relays and proximity switches in.
24V dedicated power for Z axis servo brake in.
External usb port in.
Need to run wires for 4-relay board to control brake, air solenoid and tbd.
Need to figure out proximity switch wiring still.

You any good at splicing.....

Another approach just a wee bit better than duct tape is a grocery bag full of wire loops hanging off the side with a, few chocolate bars on top to hide the spaghetti.

Hey, now there is an idea! Don't hide it! Put it right out there in plain sight, spray it ivory, put it in a bowl, and add tomatoe sauce!

I have a plan. Maybe not a great one but I have one.
