Thanks.

My printbed heater stopped in mid-print.  After some basic troubleshooting, I found the connector on the printrboard had melted.  I can't tell if there's any damage to the board itself.

So, now I'm looking for a source for the red connector for the bed heater, and some male/female connectors for the fans.

If you want the same connectors, you fan order them from Mouser. I got mine for about 78 cents per.
However, I personally recommend a different connector since it can be difficult for the wires to stay in place unless you have skills or special crimping tools.

I went to Home Depot and grabbed plug/crimp connectors for $3. Far easier to install, faster to disconnect if needed. smile
However, if you want the stock ones, I can dig up the exact Mouser unit number for you.

Bridge Trolls have a good business model:  They seize property they didn't have to pay for, have a roof over their head, running water, and a steady source of income by waylaying travelers.

Thanks.
