While removing the extruder on my Creality Hi to clear a jam I damaged the wire that connects the extruder board to the print board and I have NO IDEA where to purchase a replacement wire.

It's a 3pin wire roughly 9cm long with 2 male ends where 1 is about 2mm wide and other about 5mm wide.

MUCH appreciate any advice on where to shop and what search terms to use for locating a replacement, ideally located in the US.

Removing the pin and reusing it on the broken end might just work. It’s awfully tiny though so idk just a thought. Good luck!

Yeah if you can buy a cheap soldering iron, its not too hard to depin the wire from the connector, clip the broken section off, and then solder the pinned portion to a new wire.
