HBP Wire Connection Fray

Post by Bluesoulx12 » Wed Apr 08, 2015 1:48 am

Hey all,

Wanted to know if anyone had this issue with the HBP connection. So far it frayed the wire at the connection (y connection). Is there a reliable fix this this? Or can Makergear replace the wire or something? It is not under warranty as it is past 6 months.

Figured I would post this because it is a potential issue in design possibly.

Thanks in advanced all,
Chris Nieves

you can get a new hbp harness from makergear. that is from repeated flexing in that area. your wires going to the bed need to make nice even sweeping motions. all the bend cant be concentrated in one location. you need to reroute everything and tywrap the wires so they dont flex in one area.
