1LC and BLTouch
-
@matt3o Crimps are not always for high currents. Bare multistranded wire likes to not go in cleanly.

That's what I get for wiring the BLTouch by feel, as I didn't have good visibility, was awkward when I wired it.
Looks good now!
Except for M280 P0 S160 doesn't reset/pull the pin up.
-
@Stephen6309 okay, let's just say that those connectors are not made for crimps
-
Once I have this all permanently wired, I planned to cut them down to size so they fit in cleanly. Will have to squeeze the white barrel to flatten it a bit... And yes, they are all stranded wires. Would prefer to keep them neat, and not worry about a runaway wire touching another terminal.
-
@BlueDust you can always put some solder on the tips (ONLY on low currents like those)
-
@matt3o
There is obviously not a lot of room between the screw terminals to fit them properly. -
@matt3o
That is an idea... Thanks. Will consider it when it comes time to re-wire and make this a permanent setup. -

I'd say that's not a good idea. The solder tin doesn't compress at all like the wire strands would, so you might be get very good pressure. Back to same problem as using the bootlace ferrules.
Give the bare wires a twist with your fingers to keep them tidy and then screw them down.
-
Another way to connect to those screw terminal is to insert a 0.1 pin header in there and use the approtiate connector to connect the header you installed. Don't use this for the hotend.
-
get small enough ferrules and it'll be fine. (optionally fold the wire to make up the lacking cross section, then trim the ferrule to length and remove the plastic insulation)
