I have a 12v heated cartidge here. I'm looking to extend the wiring a bit. Does any one know where I can get some more of that woven insulated red wire?

Thanks

McMaster Carr [www.mcmaster.com] this is the insulation and then just use any wire or bare wire for even more heat resistance.

Or here is the wire already insulated [www.mcmaster.com]

You don't normally need to extend these wires for a normal 3d printer the heat protection is required at the hot end for a few inches but after that chop them off and use regular wire, mines hooked up with multiple strands from a ribbon cable.
