Look what I made! Maybe someone will find my 'Cut-to-Length Jumper Wire Organizer' 3D printing project useful

Neat! Reminds me of a fly fishing fly case

It looks like you could put the wires right next to each other instead of having to space them like that.

u/KubiG_Marcin 13d ago

I designed the spacing like this on purpose so it's easy to cut with side cutters.

u/Wolf68k 13d ago

But can you put the wires right next to each other?

u/KubiG_Marcin 13d ago

I added the HighDensity version under the same link today.

go somewhere in the middle; match the breadboard pin spacing (standard DIP spacing) 2.54 mm (0.1 inches)

Thanks for the advice, I made a model like this

u/Wolf68k 12d ago

I like the long ones as well as the short ones.

u/EkriirkE AVR Noduino 12d ago

Now that looks clean !

u/Wolf68k 12d ago

That's going above and beyond than what I asked. Thanks for that.

I can see using this inside project boxes to keep things neat and tighty. More so if the box is clear or has a window.

Nice! That looks handy

u/Sopo_Life 13d ago

Nice. Could definitely use some.

Definitely printing 45 ft of these later, thanks!!

i was just looking for something like this

Saving for when I get a 3d printer

u/UnnecessaryLemon 13d ago

Can you please make a model that will be like this? So we can decide whether to put it next to each other or skip one?

4

u/KubiG_Marcin 13d ago

Sure. I'll print the model as shown in the picture, check it, and add it.

u/UnnecessaryLemon 11d ago

Already printing this.

1

u/UnnecessaryLemon 11d ago

Yes, That's exactly it. Glad that my precise drawing was enough.

u/TldrDev 13d ago

This is super cool.

If you added a way to slot in some pcb headers so you could push them into the breadboard and then route cables against the breadboard, that would be super cool.

I dig this a lot but am not a huge fan of wires flying up at me.

u/BoyRed_ 13d ago

Why not just use solid core wire?

1

u/TldrDev 12d ago

I do, but still like organized cables. A hole at each side of this i could push a header pin through and snap it into the breadboard is a simple and neat addition that would make this better, i think.

u/BoyRed_ 12d ago

Fair enough, i was just curious : )

u/Wangysheng 11d ago

I have been searching for wire comb for jumper wire like the ones from ATX power cables. This seems the closes one yet.

u/KubiG_Marcin 9d ago

In case anyone wants to customize it for their own needs (different number of wires, height, cable diameter, etc.), I made a parametric model.
