    The wires on my stepper motor connector (the white plastic piece) just flat out popped out. Is there a way to get them back in without having them come out again? Should I solder it? Or will glue work?

    super glue is probably your best bet, but it may also be possible to fix it by adjusting some of the flags.

    If that doesn't work it would probably be a good idea to submit a replacement part request and/or buy a new one from robo

    I may just do that anyway, but can you get just the connectors? The motor is still good, so I would rather not replace it if I don't have to.

    You wouldn't be replacing the motor, just the connector + cable. I'm not entirely sure what that would be called. Probably just search Nema 17 stepper motor connector if you don't want to go through robo.

    Thank you very much! I'll be doing that right now.
