The standard IDC ribbon cable crimping tool/press can be acquired from many places for quite cheap. It works well, but its clunky and really not that well optimized for one hand operation.
This conversion allows to incorporate a compression spring. This makes the crimping tool open by itself, which allows much easier operation with one hand. Additionally, it includes a stand to use it upright directly on the table - perfect if you need to crimp multiple cables in a row.
Besides the 3D printed parts, it only requires a single 7mm diameter spring.
