Hey #3dprinting community, my RAMPS 1.4 board just melted its bed connector after 10 years of service. What would you recommend to replace it with? Context: the printer is a homebuilt coreXY without any special features. I'm an engineer (both soft & hard) so beginner-friendliness is not a hurdle.

If you have a Bambu Lab A1 or A1 mini 3D printer you may like to know that if you add the following to your gcode: M400 U1 This will allow you to do manual colour changes within a print. This is my first attempt at trying it.
