Cables #13

Open ThomasLGauthier opened 4 years ago

ThomasLGauthier commented 4 years ago

Hello everyone,

I'd like to implement https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/7499-prusa-mmu2-moving-filament-passage-22mm-ikea-plats, but the cables between the MMU2S and the MK3S are too short. What cables do I need to buy in a longer form to do what I want? What are the names/links to them? I am also planning to move the power unit outside the enclosure, so what cables might I need to get for that?

Sincerely, Thomas Gauthier

They're molex SL connectors, more specifically the 2.54mm pitch single row versions

Grab some long dupont breadboard jumper wires and take the plastic housings off.

Buy these:(4 pin male, 4 pin female, 5 pin male, 5 pin female)

Then just jam the metal ends of the dupont wires into the housings so the pins on both ends match up. The female ends on the dupont wires(the one with a hole on its end) goes into the female housing and vice versa
