making connectors? Hello everyone. So I'm basically at my wits end on my 3d printer. For those who didn't see the post, I'm looking for this wire: [e3d-online.com] Unfortunately, there's no way I could get it by the weekend, which I really wanted to work on it. This is probably an unbelievably stupid question, but is it not possible to make some crappy makeshift wire just to get it running until I get the actual wire in or until I 3d print the connectors? Maybe tape them to it and shove them in the connector? Or will this risk shorting out the motor? Any help would be great. If its a really stupid question, I apologize. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503672#msg-503672 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:04:25 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503902#msg-503902 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503902#msg-503902 etfrench Reprappers Fri, 01 May 2015 03:58:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503725#msg-503725 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503725#msg-503725 fatesalign Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:36:38 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503710#msg-503710 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503710#msg-503710

Looks like that should work. One issue I have run across is the picture in Amazon not matching what you get. So you may end up with a motor without a plug.
Omg now I'm going to worry about that lol. I paid an extra 25 to have it overnighted. I ended up paying over 50 dollars for 1 cord, so it better have it.]]> fatesalign Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:58:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503709#msg-503709 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503709#msg-503709 fatesalign Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:56:54 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503708#msg-503708 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503708#msg-503708

I think I figured it out! Please if someone could tell me if this will work or not. The original motor is not a Nema 17 motor, but I think its a knockoff. Unfortunately, I am not near it to get the number but here is the sales page.

What I want to do is buy these connectors: [www.amazon.com]

And this motor: [www.amazon.com]

Then solder them together. Do you know if it will work? I have 3 hours to get it overnighted.

what does a "knock-off NEMA 17 motor" look like?]]> gmh39 Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:52:14 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503705#msg-503705 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503705#msg-503705 AquaticsLive Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:25:35 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503702#msg-503702 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503702#msg-503702 fatesalign Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:17:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503691#msg-503691 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503691#msg-503691

I know you're right. It just really sucks having waited for so long just to get this and it not have all the parts.

Have you tried Folgertech they don't list them on there webpage but they may well have them?

Doug.

or any other kit/printer supplier unfortunately being in the UK I can't really help you with USA shops.]]> dougal1957 Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:20:37 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503682#msg-503682 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503682#msg-503682 fatesalign Reprappers Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:17:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503676#msg-503676 Re: making connectors? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,503672,503676#msg-503676
