Rigid RigidBot MotherBoard to HeatBed Cable

thingiverse

The original HeatBed cable on the RigidBot system features a flat cable configuration where four wires are connected in parallel for Power to the Heatbed. The power connections consist of 4 positive wires and 4 negative wires. In addition, the termistor is attached using the remaining two wire connectors without regard to polarity. The standard installation procedure provided does not orient the HeatBed cable in a natural position. This misalignment could potentially cause connector warmth. As a result of stiffness, small sparks can be created when connectors are moved during this process. Cable length measures 500mm, and a gauge of 1.5mm2 is utilized. According to design specifications, this setup enables the transfer of up to 20 amps with a voltage loss of just 0.4V. It's worth noting that an upgraded version (1.75mm2) can handle even more current. For easy connector-capsulation, extra clearance has been designed into both configurations, "Heatbed-element-on-top-of-Cork-and-glass-above." To account for various motherboard designs, this assembly procedure serves as a universal approach to solving heatbed issues with RigidBot and its derivatives. For the sake of versatility, this adaptation enables utilization with virtually any type of motherboard.
