New square bootlace ferrule crimper, because it's faster and better than my older U-shaped one.

For all of you that hate #crimping: The SN-2549 is the ultimate crimping tool for #jst. It crimps both parts in one go and it's as easy as it can get.

10/10 would buy again.

Give it a shot if you prefer soldering over crimping.

All the wires have been crimped! This was very tedious and repetitive. But after the first few done, it went relatively smoothly.
I only had to make two wires longer.
Connector list:
- ten six-pin JST
- three two-pin JST
- one four-pin JST
- one ten-pin DuPont
It looks very cramped, but it works!
The steps are ordered columns first, like this:
1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10
Else, I would have needed to make more wires longer.

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] I didn't have to do nearly as many and I was compelled to come up with this amusing mnemonic to ensure I did the colours right every time.

The 2AWG wire lugs had to be filed down so they would fit on the terminals of the cutoff switch. The terminals on the switch are separated by a plastic barrier, but they're still very close together. Makes me wonder if I didn't actually need 2AWG wire at all. But here we are. 🤷 #electronicsdiy #crimping

@slyecho but one doesn't solder such connections...

#VDE and other #ElectricalCodes demand #crimping to prevent "HotSpots" from forming which could escalate into a cable fire...

  • I mean, I've soldered wires in the past but those were like miniature train set lights that draw less than 1W each, so it's not like we're talking about several amps...
"Peu valorisé" au Maghreb, la gravure sur métaux au patrimoine de l'UNESCO | Africanews

Les techniques ancestrales de gravure sur les métaux, inscrites tout récemment "au patrimoine immatériel" de l'Unesco, sont "peu valorisées" au Maghreb où les artisans peinent à perpétuer leur savoir-faire.

Here an action shot after #crimping some #JST to #DuPont wires.

Just made some cables with two resistors in-line, they should divide the voltage across the red wire and black wire (on the left) by half (on the right), while only pulling a small current (but enough for the buck converter lm2596s’ enable pin to draw from). This will save me from having to use a separate relay for toggling my 5V fans. Though I will need to tinker with #marlin firmware to invert the signals. #diy #electronics #3DPrinting #soldering #crimping #wire
I crimped my first DuPont cable... the lengths of the wires don't match 100%, but it's good enough. It'll be used as extension to connect a servo with too short cable to my Arduino.
