Duet 3 6HC micro SD socket damaged, need to send for repair
-
I did some wiggle testing and found that the wiring from the duet 3 to the paneldue is flakey..... going to make a new cable and pay closer attention to the terminations... I always solder the wire ends before I crimp the terminal on the end... do you guys solder the terminal on to the wire as well?
-
A good crimp should be on bare wire. If you solder first the crimp won't work properly.
-
What gauge wire do you normally use with the crimps on the fans, sensors and steppers..?. I'm using nema 23 and 17 motors... I had been using 22 gauge wire
-
22 is likely just fine for those things.
-
it is likely that I do not have a good crimper for this task... what is the recommended crimper for this task?... my current problem is that when I crimp down on the terminal it cuts the wire end off and when I tine the wire ends before I crimp it solves this problem.

There are many options. https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/9852/crimping-tool/
