Route the X-stepper wires as shown in the picture.

Use a zip tie to constrain it to the mill_stepper_cable_managment printed part, through the 4016 X gantry using the mill_4040_t_slot_clip to secure them. Exit at the mill_x_umbilical_mount printed part, and into the electronics enclosure or your desired location. Leave an extra 300mm (at least) to route it to the controller and crimp the connector.

Cut the cables to the final length, double check if the cable has the appropriate length before cutting.

Label the cable at the end, with a piece of duct tape for example.

Crimp the JST-XH into the wires ensuring the crimp has a solid connection to the wire core.

Inset the crimps into the JST-XH housing, follow the wire colour scheme to preserve the motor coil pairs

Should the integrity of the motor coil pairs not be maintained, the motor will experience impaired operational functionality.
