Reddit mentions of IWISS Crimping Tools Works on Mini Connectors XH2.54mm XH3.96mm Dupont D-Sub Terminals JST Pin Crimper SN-01BM Crimping Tools for Crimper Plier for AWG 28-20 （0.08-0.5mm2)

These are what I use on the tevo and when I put the e3dv6 on the ender I'll use them there too....

I started them about 6 inches back up the wires from the hot end spaced them out so them aren't one big blob.... used different ones for different things so they can't be switched out and if for some reason a wire pulls loose it doesnt short anything... doing it I can swap out the hot end in minutes, do a PID tune and I'm off to the races.


Connectors and max current rating

Jst-sm for the fans and thermistor - 3amp

Jst-xhp are the white connector for stepper motors - 3 amp
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTH46S7/

Dupont for the black on the main board - 3 amp
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CVYPDGS/

These for heated bed - up to 30 amps - solder only, not crimp

Crimpers - get the right ones for the pin type in the connectors you buy, you can't use just any old crimper or wing it with these tiny pins and get a good connection that doesn't come apart when things move for hours

Since I'm on the subject heated bed wires - large enough to carry the current and with the silicone cover and fine internal strands flexible enough to not break with movement

That is a JST connector.

Since this is a gimbal and timing is super important, Id recommend clipping all 4 wires to the same length and re crimp all the connections.
I HIGHLY recommend doing a bunch of test crimps before re crimping those to make sure you do those right.

Thanks for posting that it will pass through HDMI audio.

I am using the same LCD controller, but I wrongly assumed that the "Speaker" header would only amplify line-level audio coming into the 3.5mm input. This would have saved me from installing an external amp.

In case anyone finds it useful, here is a technical spec PDF that I found for that LCD controller. It indicates that the speaker port supplies an amplified 2x1W 8 Ohm speaker-level output.

The "Speaker" header on the PCB is a JST-PH connector. You can buy these connectors on Amazon and Ebay, which would allow you to make your own wire and connect to different 8 Ohm speakers if you so choose. I recently bought a set of these and the required crimper tool because I've had a few projects come up recently that used this type of connector. You'll need 24 AWG or smaller wire, some good eyes, and some practice in order to do these quickly. Here's what I ordered in case it's helpful:

1470 Pieces 2.0mm JST-PH JST Connector Kit

Hook-up Stranded Wire 24 AWG

Iwiss XH2.0mm XH2.54mm XH3.96mm Dupont D-Sub Terminals JST Pin Crimper

When I was asking about this for the ender 3 /u/robbob2112b gave a very detailed breakdown on what they had done.

I bought this crimper and it works great on JST:

AFTER I bought it, I found THIS one:

https://smile.amazon.com/Crimping-0-08-1-0-18-28AWG-Ratcheting-Connector/dp/B01N1RFZZ4

Which does JST and many more than the first. Grrrr.
