Too familiar with that plot, at least you diagnosed it quick and it was apparent, sometimes they show up super intermittent and are a pain to chase.
I think I recall you having a break a while back ago on !vorondesign@lemmy.world, same spot?
That was me, but in that case it was the heater wire and the break was in the y-chain. This break is in the x-chain. Based on a reply on the Voron design forum, I may not have left enough slack in my wire runs. The breaks always happen on the inside radius, right where a wire touches one of the links in the chain, so this seems like a decent theory.
I think I'm going to completely rewire the hot end. On the fence about going to USB or CAN vs discreet wiring. Since I tend to print big things, I don't think an umbilical is a great idea - it seems like it would not work that well in high z situations. My reverse bowden already snags things sometimes.
