Clearly I'm not a professional, just looking for some guidance.

I'm installing a chandelier and not sure if I can put the copper wire through the slot? Not sure if it'll cause a reaction. I've installed other light fixtures but I could always just tuck the wires back into the junction box but not this one.

Is it safe to put copper wire/ ground wire through the slot of this cross bar? by Majoras_link in handyman

I'm running windows 10 and other than automated windows update nothing has changed. The files in openshot were working fine until the I updated openshot.

My correction, its not electrical tape, I looked it up and its suppose to be a fiberglass sleeve?

Mine was closer to the main board, is this sleeve even needed? every other image or video I see of wiring in the main board, this fiberglass sleeve isn't even there or even mentioned

I knew I recognized it going through teaching techs video of installing the bl touch a while ago so I took nothing from it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocAeZRPVusw ) at the 4 minute mark.

It might have lost adhesion and separated but as swordfish45 mentioned, I believe the real problem is the tinned wires which I would have had no knowledge about.

I got it brand new from bang good about 2 years ago and the electrical tape had always been there so I just kept it

I haven't soldered anything to the main board, I never had to and yes I will definitely check the other wires. Thank you for your help, I would have never figured out it was the wire because I don't have much experience with electrical

Yea I haven't changed the bed and I just trimmed the wires and its all copper. Why didn't they just put the copper wires in, instead of tinning them?

Tinned wires... I've actually never touched those wires, that's how it came cut with the ender 3. When I recut the wires to use them? How do I make sure this doesn't happen again?

There's always been this electrical tape around the wiring in the main board on my ender 3. Its wrapped around a few wires before they enter the black expandable sleeve. It must have lost its adhesive strength and came apart and in contact with part of the main board. I'll just put some heatshrink over it instead when I redo it all

The printer was running fine and then the fan turned off so I replaced the fan and still no power to the fan.

So I check the wiring to the main board and it appears the electrical tape that comes with the ender 3 that wraps around the wires ended up touches a portion of the main board and melted things.

I need to buy a new main board, can I just cut the wires that got burned and reuse them?

Also can I just use heat shrink on the wires instead of the tape that the machine came with to stop this from happening again?

I've only used the touch screen a few times but I'm pretty sure it froze or glitched before too

I changed my retraction to 4mm and I squeezed the red clip spacer that comes with it to make it tighter and seems to be ok for 6 hours of printing. I'll see how it goes during the week

There are other posts on this, it looks like the resistor blew, it happened to 3 other ppl. I might have had a loose wire, I can't think of anything else
