The hot glue sure helped me complete my first Maslow project at last.
I did then become overconfident and tried it with some 1" plywood and I suppose the Z went low enough to cause an encoder error. So I put my money where my mouth is and bought those replacement RJ45 cables. I will glue them in as well and so I’m hoping their flexibility will do the trick.
I got them here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z2T51DV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
I’ll let you know how it works.
