PVC-insulated wire (the “hookup wire” from the parts bin) starts softening around 80 °C — fine in the electronics bay, not fine clipped to a Voron toolhead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin wall, small bend radius.\u003c\/strong\u003e FEP wall is much thinner than silicone or PVC for the same voltage rating, which is the whole point of running 30 AWG — you get a smaller bundle in tight cable chains and looms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStranded core.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is stranded (multi-strand), not solid.
