Different colors on heated bed cable

Posted · Different colors on heated bed cable

I just noticed, that the cable which came with my heated bed kit has different colors than what they mention in the users manual. So in case someone is confused, the brown and the blue wires go where the gray wires are in the manual, and the black and the white wires go where the black wires are in the manual:

    The skinny wires go to the temp sensor (you can see the traces on the board going over to the tiny temp sensor part) and the thick wires go to the heater (you can see those traces also - they cover the whole board). Both objects are pure resistors and can be wired up either way (no polarity - it works backwards and forwards).

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
