Also: my life improved immensely when I decided to spend 12 quid to buy this:
I literally sploosh every time I use it. Doesn't matter what the wire, length, thickness, or girth. They crimp all the same
The wall behind me. Chin up, no drooling.
Good crimpers and strippers are worth their weight in what you paid for them in pennies.
I'm impressed mostly by the size of that peg board. They're surprisingly expensive...!
Are they where you are? That stinks, they are cheap here in the US, especially years ago. All the mounts are custom designed and printed by me: https://nowsci.com/pegboard/
$23 for a 1.2m by 2.4 m wooden pegboard sounds like a dream. Here, you're looking easily at £100...
Very impressed by your 3d mounts though, I'm still in the process of setting up my Voron. I'm finally down to the electrics, and am getting some weird shorting behaviour with my z-endstop, but slowly and steadily debugging it
Loved my Voron v0.2 build, so much fun and got lucky without many problems. The display kept screwing it up, so disconnected it and it's been happy since. Which Voron? At that price for pegboard, printing some multi board might be cheaper! I considered doing that since I have a big boy printer, too, but decided to stick with the pegboard.
Yeah I'm on a 0.2, I thought it would be easy... and here I am months later! As for pegboard, I did a bit of a shop and there are some that make it to that size and thickness at a similar price, but to collect them would be a two hour drive into a whole other city
Are there "sheets" of anything you can get cheap? Or from sonsignment? You could make a jig and drill a bunch of holes to make one?
Mine, hold your excitement, mine crimps from six sides at once!!! SIX!!
Oh shit, should I send mine back?? I got it yesterday, but not sure if I cheaped out. Is 6 better than 4?
I have no clue, probably not 😅
I just wanted to add to it. And I love how the crimp... things close!
I know! It's sooo satisfying
And you just stick all the Ethernet wires in? Like a nasty naughty little thing.
Same. https://sh.itjust.works/post/65657453
Except for the 12 quid part
What is this?
I know what crimping is, and I know how to terminate an Ethernet cable, but I don't know why you'd want to crimp 4 things at once and don't know what those socket things you're crimping on are?
Ferrules - great for terminal blocks, wagos etc. It's just for crimping one - the stripped wire goes into the plastic end, and the metal sheathing is crimped down onto the exposed wire.
I need to get some of these for my audio cable
