You should really use twisted shielded pair to wire stepper motors and limit switches.
22-18 gauge should be fine
The twisted pair minimizes external effects of high frequency voltage out to motors.
There are instances of motor wires triggering end stops
Extruder heater and bed heater should have gauge wire to handle the high current --- 12 -- 14 gauge stranded wire
:S
Hi,
what you have told for wiring the motors is correct, but recently i have seen "Bukito 3D Printer" in which for the latest model complete wiring is done by ribbon cable only so because of that I'm thinking why we cant use ribbon cables?
For ribbon cables 24 AWG or 26 AWG are in my mind to use. And i have little doubt about heat bed wiring using ribbon cable.
