    Question Securing Dupont connectors to headers

    Have you ever used Loctite to secure a Dupont socket onto a header pin?


    My initial plan was to do like many and use hotglue, but this particular situation requires a liquid that's less "thick", but I don't want it to be permanently secured.

    So I was thinking of using a drop of blue Loctite threadlocker, but that seems still too strong. I'm pretty sure that stuff will infiltrate the socket and really jam it on there.

    I think that's the equivalent to Permatex's green threadlocker...?


    The consensus over here seems to be hotglue.

    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!
