Hello guys. I am also here in the same page. I have never used a wiring diagram before. it was pretty confusing to me at first but I did my best to get and also I did follow some youtube videos. They are terrible quality and dont show much but it helps a little. anyways now I have everything conected and I have checked multiple times and I cant get it right. if I tunr on 1 switch it turns on everything the motor, the fans, the PID controller. everything. I have looked many times ofr my error and I even changed the connections and I keep gettignt he same result. only one swtich activates everything. what am I doing wrong?

If switch 2 is on when you turn switch 1 on then everything will come on. Make sure that switch two is off and is wired correctly based on the diagram above. On switch 2 which pins are your wires on? they should be marked on the side of the switch.

^ this is also correct, just shown in a different way.

Here is how I wired mine. Cut the connectors of both fans before you start. Run cable for 1 fan, Thermocouple and Heater through the grommet at the front. Power supply cable, 1 fan and red/black for stall protection cable go through the grommet at the back. I showed where each cable started and ended and colours I used.

I feel that a simple video of someone assembling a Filastruder would be ideal. There wouldn't even need to be dialogue, just a demonstration of what goes to where, and i'd be off to the races. Perhaps my IQ is too low to learn from diagrams and schematics. If I can figure out how to assemble mine, I will take it apart and make the video myself.

Yes having the same trouble. Its okay saying the diagram is okay but there are many questions, what about cable management connectors. Having never used a wiring diagram this is tricky.

its hard to get good pictures of the wiring. Ive build a bunch of filastruders and the wiring diagram is spot on

I'm in the same boat. Haven't found anything good yet.

Is there a better visual description of how everything should connect together?

I have done very little circuitry in my time and am struggling with the lack of visual explanation. Has anybody uploaded anything better in terms of supplementary imagery or a video like Ian did for the FilaWinder?

TIA
