Hey guys, i'm new here. I need some help regarding the X motor assembly of the mendel 90 build. The type of adapter that's in the tutorials is different from the one I have here. I am going to solder each wire to the corresponding pin. In the tutorial, it says the first two wires are unused, so you should connect wire 3 with pin 1. Ok so far. Then it says pin 8 is unused. Ok also My question is, should I solder wire 4 with pin 2 (the one next to 1 on the same row) or with pin 9 (the one on the other row)? I soldered them the first way (wire 4 with pin 2, wire 5 with pin 3 and so on) then I looked at the picture and it was so much cleaner than what I have here. That made me wonder. Can anyone give me some advice here?
