    One of the crimped connections to the thermistor on the heated bed has opened on the socket side (free hanging). The connector design doesn't appear to lend itself to disassembly. I can also see one of the power connections on the plug side appears a little discolored. I am thinking about cutting both sides off and replacing them. Can anyone recommend a replacement that has worked well for them?

    Anderson Powerpole connectors.
    (Unless you want to limit the bed temp.)
    Small, 30amp capable, easy to install.

    I also like Deans connectors for power. JST connectors for the thermistor

    Both heater pins on mine got all crispy, bed didn't heat up till the fix.
    If you have a Fry's Electronics near you, these are pretty cheap.
