Now that I’ve had a bit of time to think and experiment, I agree. Here’s how the opposite Y plate wire block came out.
Same connectors, crimped instead of soldered. Heat shrink over the connector ends. I’ve also gone with much longer 4 wire bundle lengths so the wire can comfortably reach the X-Controller on my table.
I love that you used color-coded heat shrink. Nice touch. I just used red for all mine including the GT2 belts. It gave the machine some nice little red accents against the black rails.

for a truly bulletproof connection, try these… They have solder within the terminal, everything fuses together when you apply heat to the heatshrink…
