Wiring the towers on the rostock max v2 kit

Post by MartinDK »

Okay so I was looking through forums for a solution for this and I couldn't find one. So after I solved it myself I thought I would share how I wired the towers on the rostock max. Basically I was unable to do it without using this small trick.

What I did was just to take the wire that was inside each of the four-wire cables and threaded it through the holes in the towers. Then I made a loop on each one and put it over the bundle of wires. The loop doesn't have to be that tight. Then I just pulled on the wire and the wire bundle will pass through the tower very easy.

oh, i have started my build some time ago, and yesterday ive spent about 2 or 3 hours to get wires trough towers. It was my little hell, really. Finally i have it happened when i have decided some abs filament and 3D pen to connect it with wires. I hadn't something else strong enough to go trough tower. (so complicate english phrases... sorry my engrish)
3D printing is magic!

when I build v2s here at the shop I also do something similar... I use a length of filament and tape it to the wires with kapton (since electrical tape is too thick) and use that to pull wires through... feed the filament through, and use it as a snake to pull the wires through
