    My print came to an awesome halt the other day when it sounded like machine gun fire coming from the printer. One of the wires on the stepper motor broke out of the molex connector. This happened once before while changing the hotend and i was able to splice and solder the wires. This time it happened at the molex connector. Any ideas what molex connector is needed or where to get a replacement cable i can cut and splice?

    The link that is posted above to Amazon links to an unavailable item. Amazon doesn't know when it will be available again. I'm having the exact same problem as the original poster, does anyone have a link to an available item? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you, I guess it'll be waiting in my mailbox until I get back from MRRF.

    Gahh, I just broke that same cable this evening. Not thrilled, but glad that someone else was able to source the cable. Thanks!
