Break in Rep 2 X axis cable and relpacement parts

I have a break in the X axis ribbon cable (Right at the roll pin) on my Replicator 2 and came here to the Robotshop to buy replacements but Im confused by the list of parts I may need to order. I think I need to buy the E-XYZ Motor cable harness (Rev 2) product code: RB-Mkb-01 but it says it must be used with Replicator 2 2/2X jumper cable - X Motor product code RB-Mkb-02. Does that mean I must purchase that as well in order to complete the task? Are there ant other items I must also order to get this Rep two running again? [highlight=#ffffff]

Anybody?

Hi Rancid Crabtree,

The original harness for the Replicator 2 is in one piece but the new cable is split in two for the X axis motor.
They did that so if your cable fail later on, you will be able to replace just the small jumper cable instead of the whole harness.

You will need both cables to do the repair.

hi, i have a failed 1 piece harness and have bought a rev 2 harness - before i realised it was different to the one on my machine. Will it fit? it has black square things on the cables which i dont have locators for. i also bought the jumper cable. Help!

sorted it - it works but the black squares just float about in the motherboard cover.
for the record the issue i was having was stepped prints on the X-axis. it would do it differently every time i set off the same file so i knew it wasnt the file at fault.

The difference between the old and new harness is the connector.
It allows to change the cable “later” without disassembling the whole thing.

Nice that you been able to sort it out.
