Introduction: Breadboard Cable 4x Size
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!
