Wire Extension Issue - May 2022

Wire Extension Issue - May 2022

Customers have brought to our attention a problem with new wire extensions that started shipping in May 2022.  The issue involves a short extension shown below, where the white plug on one end needs to be inverted.  

The solution is to simply use a small tip screw driver (the kind that came with your Ender 3) and open the white locks that restrain the wires in the white plug.  Then turn the plug over, and when re-inserting each wire into the socket, you need to twist the wire so the lock pin on the connector lines up with the socket lock hole.

Alternatively, this can be resolved in firmware by setting the following in Configuration.h:

[Stock values]:
#define   INVERT_X_DIR false
#define   INVERT_Y_DIR false
#define   INVERT_Z_DIR true
#define   INVERT_E0_DIR false
[New values]:
#define   INVERT_X_DIR true
#define   INVERT_Y_DIR true
#define   INVERT_Z_DIR true
#define   INVERT_E0_DIR true
