CR-10 Cable Mod

thingiverse

Since original cables for CR-10 were a bit short, I had some hassle installing the printer in my wooden box, so I decided to change the cabling of the printer. Now it's a clean one-cable solution and cables on the printer are neatly installed. Things you need: * 2x DB37 connectors (male & female) * Some cable * Some screws (spare screws from CR-10 will do the trick) * Printed connector box * 2x printed DB37 housing * Some patience when soldering all the wires I've used an old printer cable for all the steppers and sensors. For Bed and nozzle, however, you must use some thicker cables (I've used 1.5mm silicone cable). Also, pay attention to separate the sensors' ground - if not, false results will occur when the fan blows. A tip: use thicker cables for the ground pins as well (0.75mm). I've attached a pin-out diagram of my printer as an idea on how to probably do it. Please use this mod at your own risk. I don't take any responsibilities if your printer explodes or your house burns down. Be very careful when doing the cabling and soldering, applying proper isolation is essential. Keep in mind that the power supply can deliver lots of current that can kill your wires instantly if they're too thin.
