<p>You just need some wires, nothing special about them. You can use any wire that's flexible enough. For the endstop you'll need 2 wires, for the servo (if you need to extend the cable) 3. The connectors on the end are known as dupont connectors.</p>

Thanks.  I am new to 3D printing and electronics in general but I have always been interested.  I went on Amazon and bought connectors, crimper, wire (different colors), soldering iron, etc.  Now I will be unstoppable!

Let us know how it works out -- others (including me) will be interested in perhaps doing the same.

@TextGeek I bought the stuff and became a connector-making fool.  I ended up making many extension cables as I keep moving things around.  Then i started soldering them and using shrink tubing instead. :D
