So, I spent a lot of time looking into way to make the hotend a little bit more modular. I found these.

They are the same molex connectors used for the motors, but with the male version as well. I bought a few of them. My fans, LED power, and thermister are each connected to one. I also added them to where my extruder motor goes into the big wire harness that goes into the base of the rostock.

For the hotend resistors I have two big plug style connectors, one for (+) and one for (-).

Looks nice!

I used SubD connectors:

Do you have a cable relief at he hotend?

Yup, the first picture on the left and right of the picture are the two hot end cables. they are covered in black heat shrink.

That's a great idea! I can even use my locking D-Sub design I posted on Thingiverse

Rostock hotend wire disconnects.
