Does anyone know the nomenclature or have a source for the connectors for the Printrboard? I'm especially interested in the fan connectors. I'm in the process of adding a couple of fans, and I want the wiring to look decent, not like it was built by bridge trolls!
Thanks.
I ordered some from china on ebay. They just arrived today but I haven't confirmed they are correct yet. I'll post a link if they are the right ones. (5 for $0.99 - free shipping)
not like it was built by bridge trolls!
But bridge trolls tend to also be proud enough of their work to hide underneath it and guard it from ungracious passers-by - I don't know what you're embarrassed about!! 
Correction, from New York, not china. Also not free shipping.

They worked.
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.

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.

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.
However, if you want the stock ones, I can dig up the exact Mouser unit number for you.
I have the special crimp tools, if it's not too much trouble to find the Mouser numbers, that would be great!
Thanks.
