Introduction: Breadboard Cable 4x Size

About: Student, maker

As I wanted to join the "Go Big" competition I decided to scale up a popular thing amongst makers and electronics people - a jumper wire.

Supplies

  • multimeter cables
  • glue
  • 3D printer

Step 1: Creating 3D Model

I designed and scaled up the model in Fusion 360.

Step 2: Printing

Next, I printed everything out of black PLA with no support material. Other settings do not matter.

Step 3: Getting the Pins

Then I hit the plastic part a few times with a hammer to remove the metal pin.

Step 4: Soldering

I removed insulation from the multimeter wires and soldered them directly to the pins.

Step 5: Almost Done

Now, I put the metal pins through holes and secured everything with a bit of glue.

Step 6: Et Violà

Now you can plug the cable into your giant breadboard. What... you don't have one? Watch out for my next Instructable then. Cya!
