On my Makerbot  the wire harness is for all stepper motors  is a week point of the machine the one for the for the  y axis stepper motor is what usually breaks I have bought 3 harnesses since the machine was new. at present i have over 5000 hours on the machine. and it broke again. Makerbot uses stranded wire in their harnesses is their a better wire that is more flexible.


Thanks

Try USB cable. It is flexible and has 4 to 5 conductors. Plus it is shielded.
