While removing the extruder on my Creality Hi to clear a jam I damaged the wire that connects the extruder board to the print board and I have NO IDEA where to purchase a replacement wire.

It’s a 3pin wire roughly 9cm long with 2 male ends where 1 is about 2mm wide and other about 5mm wide.

MUCH appreciate any advice on where to shop and what search terms to use for locating a replacement, ideally located in the US.

UPDATE

After some trial and error did confirm the part number as 3103110734 Cutter Detector Wire and thanks to Creality forum thread found the wire and tip specs to be:

JST GH 1.25mm Pitch - locking type 3 Wire & SHR-03V-S-BSH 1.mm Pitch 3 Wire
The cables are 28: AWG, ~100mm Cable Length

Ended up just buying one off eBay for $15 shipped rather than attempt to make my own. Creality support did offer to sell one for $5 but with $30 shipping…

    As others have mentioned, all you need to do is replace the connector where the red wire broke off. Since this piece isn’t strictly necessary for printing, you can use it for a learning moment if you’ve never done anything like that before.

    Don’t tell anyone I told you but if you look for videos on how those connectors work, you can probably figure out how to keep using the existing connector and just remove the old bit of broken off red wire and reconnect the main part of the wire.
