My Prusa is in the mail (I am so excited) and the parts are expected to arrive by May first. My steppers that I ordered from phidgets.com don't have long enough leads to connect to the RAMPS. I have searched all over for documentation on wiring but have found none!
What type of wiring is recommended for wiring these? I want it to look nice and organized as well as cheap! I was thinking of changing the headers on the RAMPS board from the standard male headers to the 4 pin fan headers found on motherboards. I would do this so the polarity of the motors cannot be mixed up.
What type of cable would I use though? What gauge would be heavy enough? I would also need cable extensions for the thermistors and opto-endstops.
Also, does anyone have any personal suggestions for cable management that look good and are cheap?
I want all of the cabling and stuff to be very well done because my printer will be need to be moved often.
Thanks, Tom.
