Standard jumper wires for breadboard assembly are inconvenient: some bend too easily, others stick out, some have frayed ends, and others are simply unpleasant in color and feel.
You may want to make your own jumper wires. But you need a lot of them. Far too many. How can you make them quickly and easily? A dedicated tool can help.
Materials
PETG filament
four or five finishing nails: 1.2 mm shank diameter (18 gauge), 2.3 mm (3/32") head diameter
uninsulated solid-core wire, 0.75 mm (AWG 21) or thinner
optional: superglue
Tools
3D printer
hammer or vise
cutters
optional: pliers
not necessarily needed immediately: breadboard, storage boxes, coating for coloring, polypropylene
How the Design Works
Using the two handles, you move the nails to bend the wire placed between them.
Three nails form the bending mechanism.
One nail sets twice the leg length.
The movable fifth nail sets the length of the horizontal section of the jumper wire.
