Here's what the original wires look like. A wire stripper is also required, unless you're good at stripping wires without one. I bought some 14AWG electrical wire and spade connectors, and replaced both wires.

I opted to fix mine by just replacing the cables entirely, because I don't own a soldering iron (or know how to solder). I encourage everyone to (carefully) touch their connectors during a print! If they're hot, that's bad. Those brownish spots are a dead giveaway that there's a problem. This is what mine looked like after a few months of using my printer.

All posts should somehow be related to the Ender 3.

The sub was started to be a good place to find information about anything related to the Ender 3 from setup, to help with your prints, to showing off some of your creations.įeel free to ask questions, look for advice, post about issues, and search for suggestions. If you look at the BEC HK sell they either have no power connector or if they have JST RCY connectors, they are female (ie electrically male) and won't work with that adapter.Īnd its not just HK.This sub is for all things related to the Creality Ender 3 3D printer. So it's a badly made adapter imo.an example of why it is a bad idea to sex a connector by it sheath and not its electrical connection since whoever made it was confused. Anything you should plug into it should have pins not sockets. I have no idea why they put a female (ie electrically male) JST RCY connector on that adapter for a BEC. The male end of that adapter plugs into the female XT60 connector on a battery and the ESC plugs into the female end. I was perplexed by this and looked around and it seems that this cross-dressing is the norm for the Red JST RCY connectors at least in RC circles. Hobby kink at least is consistent about putting the electrically female connectors on their batteries at least as far as what is pictures and what I have received but they call the XT60 female and the red JST RCY 'male' even though its really electrically female. So the batteries with these connectors have 'male' connectors and 'female' adapters even though the electrically female socket, the one with the holes, is the one on the battery (or should be). However for some reason the little red JST RCY (aka BEC) connectors seem to be referred to by the sex of their sheathing. This is the only convention that makes any sense because that is the important thing to know. Generally, connectors are sexed by they electrical connection. For example batteries with XT60 connectors have female connectors (holes) and male adapters (pins) that plug into them. The electrically male connector, the one with the pins or plugs should go on the power consumer. As has already been stated, a power source like a battery should always have the electrically female connector, the one with holes (aka socket, receptacle).
