Video

By the way, you should make more videos. You did a great job not only designing the tool, but explaining it as well.

I started experimenting back in the 70's but being a traveling musician I began to travel more and more and somehow lost touch with my work bench. All these years later in my "retirement" I now have assembled a dream experimenters work bench and started putting together a synthesizer from a few chips and that led to a sequencer and that led to a small set of amps to drive a couple of small speakers, well you get the picture. I wanted to build each part from scratch. What a rat's nest that became on my bread board(s). I then realized that troubleshooting was a nightmare in that nest so I began cutting my leads to fit. But then I ran across your little gadget here. They say genius is the ability to perceive the obvious. I don't know how obvious this is but it is simply genius. I printed mine out and love it!! It is saving me a ton of "fiddling with the wires" time lol! Thank you!!! Anyone who experiments with electronics on a breadboard and has a 3d printer, don't even think about it. Just print this out. You will love it!

Thank you!

Works as shown!!.. Thank You for sharing this project!!

You should patent this and get someone to distribute it in stores. It's a genius invention!

Great idea. Any update to that template? Where you bought that wire strippers?

I like the length jig. But the stripping can be accomplished much faster with a stripper that auto sizes to the wire diameter, and has an adjustable end stop for length. These are widely available with either side entry or front entry into the jaws, and not very expensive.

Great design mate

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Nice

Could perhaps use some mm thin rod and a 1.5 tube and make a telescopic jumper 😅

I love this. Thank you.

This is going to make me a breadboarding God!

My son in law printed one for me. Awesome thingy.. tnx for sharing

That’s a neat tool, thanks. I was thinking someone might like to make an STL for an IC straightener (I don’t have a printer yet, it’s on my to buy list)

I always wanted some kind of tool to use with the jumper wires. Never took the time to develop it. But you did! It works great! thank you!

Very well thought out and executed. Thank you.

Got one made and watched again and yes, it works just like the man says. VERY useful. Thank you.

Thank you. That's helpful.

A super-neat board is a thing of beauty. So is a fine oil painting, and I'm crap at that as well.....

Great tool! I made one immediately after watching your video. Rewatched the video with the tool in hand and it works great. Thanks 😅

That's very useful! Thank you! Would you also add the source file, not just the STL, so we can more easily improve it/work on it, please? Btw does it also work with the type of wire strippers that grab the wire in two places and pull on opposite sides?

My local library printed me one from your design. Thanks very much.

Brilliant

Started off great but then started mumbling. Hard to hear so I baied less than 20 secs later.

I'd love to see a simpler form of the print where you stick the wire through a hole and then the lengths spiral out in a curve.

Late comer here. Downloaded the .STL file, sent it to PCBWay 3D Print. Got it in the mail yesterday. (All five of them). They came out superbly. Watched your awesome video 8 times with template in hand. Works like a charm. It's great that you expanded on Ben's tips and tricks. This will come in very handy. Now, where do I send the "Buy me a coffee/beer"? -d

Triangle thingy downloaded and printet - thank you for sharing!

I was starting to type how he stole Ben eaters jumper technique when he said “i came across this CZcams channel by the name of Ben eater”. ☆

I checked Amazon... I don't see any wire jumper jig like yours. Like I asked, where get that???

Wondered where to buy one like this??? Looks easy and clean looking breadboard jumper setup

0:52 yep, ben eater (:

All i ever wanted was to know how to find this solid wires... all i get are those that are a thread of thinner soft wires...

Brilliant!

Fussy but brilliant. The color-coding alone would make it worth the effort for breadboards that see a lot of changes to a base circuit, like benchtop robots and guitar pedal experiments.

Innovative and amazing tool! 😃

Very cool! Thank you for sharing.

In 1972 I built a DIGITAL POLYPHASE WATTMETER, on breadboard.for my BSEE senior project. It was Kick A$$ good, but lotsa breadboarding, and your device wouldhave been a GodSend. By the way, 120V, 230V, 460Volts, and 5A, 10A, 20A, 40A and 80 Amps all measured out of a 15 amp, 120Volt classroom wall receptacle. I got one measurement to lie, and 15 others to swear to it! With 0.25% accuracy, ACED THE SENIOR PROJECT, and GRADUATED with honors. (120 watts to 64000 watts full scale from a wall outlet) It was FUN!

Nice. Is this pla or tpu?

I am surprised why a lot of people won’t wire their breadboard like this. I still take joy in carefully breadboarding my some prototypes. It is fun and it creates a detail map in your mind of the hardware as well.

I liked the video so much that I not only gave a thumbs up, but I subscribed too. I even had this device on the printer before the video even ended. 😃

Whenever I see videos like this I'm very skeptical, because the title sounds a bit like clickbait. This however delivers on the promise. And it appears to be a handy tool, indeed.

Brilliant!

This is a brilliant tool that you came up with. I'll definitely be printing one for myself (and maybe a few for the local library-based maker space). I think I'll play around with a layer-based color change to make the slot divisions easier to see. Thanx for releasing the STL for free. (I probably would have bought one if you were only selling them, but the library would have missed out on the donation.)

Downloaded. Thanks.

Where can I buy one.

I myself buy 1mm solid copper wire and do my things with those.

Just buy the premade ones. Don't waste your time. It's like trying to measure and reuse resistors.

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing the design of this awesome tool!

uselessly complicated... just for aesthetic...
