Topic: Extruder Electrical Connector

Hey Gang,
My SD has begun shorting out at the connector seen in the attached pic. I was hoping to avoid changing out the connector itself. Either that or hope that the contacts in the connector can be manipulated to make better contact. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: Extruder Electrical Connector

It's a common issue.    I soldered the wires to the pins when they broke free, but eventually they broke again.

Due to other problems, Solidoodle eventually RMA'ed the entire unit, so I've been without a unit for the last month.

Wowzers, I'm sizing up to do the zip-tie method as a band-aid. What is your next course of action then?
