What wire lengths do I need for my V2 or Trident?

[Takuya]

As this gets asked quite a lot, I figued it would be a good idea to also incooperate the wire lengths for different printers into the forums.

Please keep in mind that these charts only include what goes into the cable chains to the gantry and it does not include the exhaust fan or any other wiring at or below the bed.

If you're a real cheapskate, cut a couple of wires to the specified lengths, run them and get an idea of how much you can shorten them (or how much more you need). You need to have your final placement of your electronics worked out though. Don't decide on minimum length wires then up and move your controller board to the far corner of the electronics bay!
