This may not help you in this situation, but for connecting wiring in the #26-#22 range, especially small steppers, I like using TE/Amp MTA-100 IDC connectors. I watched ebay for a while to get a crimper at a reasonable price, but these have been reliable for me and super fast to install. The connectors are cheap. I use extended length 0.1" headers to join cables. The mta-100's also plug right onto standard headers on pcb's.

I do too Andy, but there might be 30 such joints in a 2" cube so I need something really miniature. Too many times the heat shrink has slid off. After seeing how prusa makes an umbilical cord out of theirs, with good anchoring on both ends, and the creality haveing very poor anchoring, as in none on the carriage originally, I'm trying to improve it a bit at the same time. The CR10-S Pro V2 does very nice work, for about half an hour at PETG temps, then starts leaking because the hot end of the capricorn bowden tube is going away. So I'm putting a volcano version of the E3D V6 hotend on it, with a Sherpa direct drive on top of the volcano. Had to design and make a mount, for both that and the BLTouch. OPenscad feeding to a MK3S Prusa makes that easy peasy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
