    I recently started having problems with my bed thermistor, and it seems like the problem is with the RAMPS connection. The solution seems to just be applying some pressure to the connector. Is there any way to further secure the connection? It seems like it fails during every print.

    Does the wires seem to have enough slack or are they pulling up on the connector a bit?

    The wires have plenty of slack, I think the vibration is movongoing it out of place.

    so a loose connection altogether. maybe see if you can spread the pins away from one another a small amount to "hold" the DuPont connector a bit better through friction? Another option would be to crimp on a new DuPont connector if you have the bits to do it.
