Hello,
Does anyone know how I can replace the cables, power cords and data cables for the Raptor. Going through airport security, somehow they were removed from the case and lost. Looking for a replacement. Thanks for your help.

have you had any luck? I have been trying for 3 months to get a replacement cable to connect the raptor to the scan bridge. I was told by Creality to look on Amazon and given a part number to search for. no luck.
I’ve also asked support for the option of purchasing a new cable. If it goes unanswered, then I will have to experiment with DIY cables. I’ll try to keep you up to date in the next couple weeks.
The response from customer service is that they don’t have stock (at least for the shorter Scan Bridge - Raptor cable SKU 4008060303). They suggested that I look online elsewhere, which was unsuccessful. Therefore I have purchased a USB-C intercepting breakout board. I will try to interrogate the pin voltages this weekend to see if I can DIY my own cable. I will try to keep you up to date in the near future.
I have some progress. I successfully made a cable, however it was using a USB-A to USB-C cable which was only rated for USB 2.0 data speeds. IR scans worked, but no other scans that required both cameras, the data rate was too low. I’ve ordered proper USB 3.0 A to C cables, and will try that and keep you updated.

Many thanks.
I have the same problem, i need a diy cable, but i have fear to break the scanner (RaptorX)
Do yo have more information?
Thanks !!
DISCLAIMER: you should have electrical experience before making your cable, it most likely will wreck your scanner if you get the polarity wrong.
I have success. It is a very simple cable mod. You just need a USB-A to USB-C 3.0 10gbps cable, and a male barrel jack that is the same size as the one from the original cable. It is very important to use a USB 3.0 10gbps cable, otherwise the data rate will not be high enough. A USB 3.0 10gbps cable will have extra wires for the data. It will have a blue USB-A end, with extra pins.

What you need to do is trim the plastic off the end of the USB-C end of the cable to get at the wires.
You need to cut the RED V+ wire, since the scanner is using 12V, and we don’t want to send 12V back to the computer or the scan bridge.
All of the signalling to the computer/scan bridge will be using GND as reference through the USB, so the computer/scan bridge will be fine without supplying the power via USB.
Then solder on your wires from your barrel connector, tie the grounds together and solder the 12V wire to the V on the USB-C connector end. I just used one from another 12V power supply. VERIFY THE POLARITY OF YOUR CONNECTOR’S WIRES and compare it to your power supply and cable before you solder. Don’t blame me for wrecking anything.

Good luck, and double check all of your voltages before plugging in. There should be absolutely no connection between your +12V from your scan bridge/power supply to the computer through the USB cable. That will be bad.
All that’s left after is to tidy up the end of the cable and call it a day.
