wires wires, everywhere

Managed to work on my printer again last night (I'm on a roll). I don't have any pictures but I did manage to extend all the motor wires and attach the crimp ends and plastic plug ends. I also extended the wires for the heat resistors to pretty soon I will be able to finish the x axis carriage.

In order to do all of this I had to pick up some extra stuff. Specifically I had to pick up some crimpers (69.90 + tax) and I also grabbed some extra solid center wire for motor wires because the ribbon cable that came with the kit seemed kind of thin. Those wires cost me 0.09 a foot and I got a total of 12 feet.
