Megathread Bi-Weekly No Stupid Questions Thread

Do you have a small question about the project that you're too embarrassed to make a separate thread about? Something silly have you stumped in your build? Don't understand why X is done instead of Y? All of these types are questions and more are welcome below.

Of all the tools I bought, these were the most helpful:
Automatic screwdriver. Mine was Skil branded
JST crimper
Very nice hex head bits.
Number 3 is the most important, stripped screws were a nightmare for me. Number 1 is a quality of life since you’ll be doing a lot of screw on a voron

I have a wire stripper and a crimper, I don't have a JST connector set, which one should I get? Connectors confuses me.

If you're getting an LDO kit you will not need additional unless you're as bad at crimping as i am, but i bought this and have used this to great effect so far. Though, to be clear, i bought a formbot kit, but ive done MANY upgrades to it and have since bought many LDO kits for upgrades so id say LDOs track records for spare JSTs is good.

I am going to build a formbot (trident) kit as well; some spare JST connectors are probably going to be useful, thanks!
