Stepper motor wiring question
November 29, 2016 10:17AM
If I were to wire this to ramps the commonly done methods if my motors had open end cords (no 4 pin connector) what am I looking to buy exactly to stick on the end of the wires there seems to be a few different models.

What gauge are these wires commonly used on nema 17s?

Can the motor be wired to the ramps commonly done method without a 4 pin connector? (My current printer is on melzi thinking about switching it to ramps have most of the stuff have some parts I have to buy and a little information of gaps to fill in).

Nice connector set, could do with one of those. As an alternative strategy, I like to join wires with solder/heatshrink so I bought some i3 wiring kits from china which come with loads of cables with 2, 3 and 4 way connectors. Cut them and solder them where needed or use some header pins to make them into extensions. They were really cheap now I'm being quote $18 a set.
