Looks like a loose connection caused arcing and melted the insulation on the wire.

If this happened with all stock/makerfarm parts I would let Colin know about it. If he's supplying a kit that causes this he should know about it and supply some higher temp insulated wire.

I guess I would be interested in whether this is a relay issue, contact/connector issue, or a wire issue.

I have been noticing the lack of flexibility of the cables from the bed heater to the relay, I have been considering replacing them with the same silicon cables that I use to feed power to the relay and RAMPS board sooner rather than later because of this.

Just wondering how many hours Adam had printed with before this occurred. I usually check and re-tighten my connections every 3-4 prints, which is about every 10 or so hours, and haven't noticed any issues, mind you, I print primarily PLA, with the bed set at 70c...

My printer has probably run for 100 hrs before this issue came up

Ahhh, thanks for that Adam. I'm around the same amount also, I'll keep an eye on it and see if it's an issue.
