 In particular, ensure that the white thermistor cable does not move at all at the point where it is soldered onto the platform (as the platform moves backwards and forwards) otherwise the connection will fail sooner or later at this point. Hence the use of a zip tie in the above picture. In particular, ensure that the white thermistor cable does not move at all at the point where it is soldered onto the platform (as the platform moves backwards and forwards) otherwise the connection will fail sooner or later at this point.
