RE: Smoke Coming from Bed Connector

Update: I finally managed to chat with Prusa support. My DNS sinkhole was preventing the chat from appearing, since when I disabled it, it appeared.

They offered to send a new wire for free, which is nice of them. I'm going to order the silicone wires, just to be safe though. Thanks for all of your help here.

I recommend your own silicone wires, if adequate gauge, over what Prusa sends. Assuming you can crimp connectors successfully...

Flexibility is key in that harness, and you want NO flexing at the connector, no matter what you use.
