HUGE thanks to all of the members of the community that stepped up and put their time in on this Chuck Hellebuyck, Makers Muse (Angus) and many others, very much appreciated and it really shows the Chinese end here how people are willing to support and troubleshoot Open Source designs. In the meantime- the patch is directly soldering those wires. allows you to see the real discount by comparing the current price with the previous price, which is the correct & real discount you will be getting. That should catch anything like this again, and a pretty much anything else as well. So QC verification (one pulled at random from the line, standard practice) is going to be full burn-in, 160hrs (one week) of non-stop printing, ABS (100º bed), with FLIR camera verification every 12 hours to look for hotspots in the wiring etc where there should not be hotspots. Without the warnings here I might not have thought of the connectors and thought the smell might come from the filament. Right now QC machine testing is "print a PLA test print" which has caught every other problem to date- except that clearly doesn't cut it anymore. ago I noticed an unusual amount of plastic smell and checked the connectors. So moving forward, all of the Creality printers when first designed get extensive reliability testing. Unsafe printers are bad for the community and bad business. Teenagers are putting these in messy bedrooms- I'm saying it's suitable for them and if Creality does not set the bar high as the best selling low-price printer, the clones that lower it when they cut corners are going to be flat out dangerous. The XT60 are a highly efficient, small and lightweight way of connecting. Creality is (obviously) changing suppliers but there was quite a bit of "that's not going to cut it" from my end on behalf of the community because suppliers are going to keep doing this sort of thing. These XT60 connectors with heat shrink are sold as a one pair, one male and one female. The wiring harnesses are outsourced, the supplier got "clever" with the connectors and tried to substitute them, Creality did not catch the substitution, that's on them- no excuses and they did not try to make any. Hey everyone, sorry about the delay on the bad XT60 connector issue, it's right before Chinese New Year so getting answers from suppliers was challenging.
