I purchased the tool for my xLDC Quick Release to make it easier to crimp the ribbon cables. This is because more connectors have to be crimped with the xLCD than with the quick release of the MK3S+.
You need a quick release if you want to operate the MK4S in the Original Prusa Enclosure (OPE) and mount the xLCD on the outside of the housing and want to keep the whole thing easy to maintain. This means that you do not have to unplug the Micro Match connector and the PE cable from the xLCD every time you want to remove the printer from the enclosure.
The crimping tool has a stand, to fix it you require a M5x20 and a M5 nut. It also has a bar to hold the tool open to make it easier to insert the adapter.
The model includes three adapters for the following connectors for 1.27 mm ribbon cables:
- IDC 2.54mm pitch Male Header (Box)
- IDC 2.54mm pitch Female Header
- IDC 2.54mm pitch Micro Match Red
