Extending the emergency stop button cable

Bambu Lab H2 Series
1

I would like to extend the emergency stop button cable of the H2D. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get an extension for this type of cable? Otherwise, I was thinking of cutting the cable in two and simply extending it with a 5-wire cable, some soldering, and heat shrink tubing. Does that sound risky to you?

I think it actually has to be in the correct location on the chassis. I tried moving it and got errors. Must have some sort of sensor.

That’s a shame. The left side would have been such a better place. I could have put the right side of the printer close to the wall. To the left side, there is already the spool holder so puting the stop button on this side wouldn’t have us lost any space.

I don’t own the laser model, but it features a hall sensor positioned on the lower right side, indicating there’s a magnet built into the stop button. You could either relocate the stop button and attach a magnet to the right side to trigger the sensor, then route the stop switch wire to the left side though the wire may be too short unless extended. Alternatively, you could install a second switch on the left side wired in series with the stop button.

Good suggestion, thank you. I will see what I can do with magnets.

Curious, did you ever find a solution? I’m wanting to do the same thing, mount it on the left side.

No, but I bypassed the problem by connecting the printer to a socket with a switch and putting this socket with a switch on the left.

Thanks, guess it’s going to be the harder way then for me. I’ll end up doing something like that myself.

I was thinking of moving the button to the top as H2c sits in a tight spot possibly the extending the cable. I managed to trick chassis hall effect sensor with no problem. Just put a strong magnet in the area. For me it is directly above the glossy line in the printer base trim. I even made an adapter for small magnet to slot in place of the button bracket. What I’m struggling with is finding correct connectors for the new cable. I could splice in extension but I don’t want to do it, so at the moment I managed to relocate the switch in slightly more convenient spot but not exactly where I want it to be.
