Extension cables for Revo?

[m00dawg]

I stumbled upon this part on Printed Solid:

E3D Revo™ Voron Coldside

Revo CR is a drop-in upgrade for some of the most popular Creality 3D printers available, including the Creality CR-10 and Ender 3 series. SUMMARY Max printing temperature: 300°C Mass: ~30g Temperature sensor type: Creality thermistor Voltage options: 12V or 24V Wattage: 40W Filament diameter...

I already have Revo heatsinks but what jumped out to me was the extension cables. Does anyone know where I might be able to pick these up? The reason is the Nitehawk 36 doesn't have the same size connectors for the Revo LDO edition and either way, trying to crimp those braided cables into the JST-XH or whatever the Nitehawk is using kinda sux. So being able to use adapters like that might be a good solve?

Open to suggestions! This is for a XOL / Orbiter 2 build. I have that working on my Trident now but will be building a similar setup for my 2.4. I did my best with the braided cable for the Trident but I kinda don't trust it.

Just doing extensions you don't need to mess with the fiberglass braided cable, Just use what you do on the rest of the printer. The fiberglass is really for the part right by the heater core. I have a Prusa Mini+ upgraded with a Revo and it needed an extension to plug in to the stock printer harness; that extension is just plain old PTFE-insulated wire.

Yep that was my thought. If I just get extensions then I can both use the generic Revo heater core for my MK3s (haven't replaced those, just added MK4s ) and Vorons and don't have to deal with the nightmare that is the fiberglass ever again. The question was where I can pick up the extensions? Or if folks know what connectors and wire to get to crimp both sides myself that'd work too!

Revos just use standard Molex Micro-Fit connectors. So mating connectors for the Revo end, then whatever you need to connect the other end.

I get the aversion to dealing with the fiberglass. I just had to re-terminate my Revo because the thermistor wires wore out from repeated sessions of removing the tool head. I had to make a small jumper to my hartk toolhead board. Just those Micro-fits on my usual PTFE wire to fabricate the harness & the printer's been happy since.
