        Also: my life improved immensely when I decided to spend 12 quid to buy this:

        I literally sploosh every time I use it. Doesn’t matter what the wire, length, thickness, or girth. They crimp all the same

          The wall behind me. Chin up, no drooling.

          Good crimpers and strippers are worth their weight in what you paid for them in pennies.

            I’m impressed mostly by the size of that peg board. They’re surprisingly expensive…!

                $23 for a 1.2m by 2.4 m wooden pegboard sounds like a dream. Here, you’re looking easily at £100…

                Very impressed by your 3d mounts though, I’m still in the process of setting up my Voron. I’m finally down to the electrics, and am getting some weird shorting behaviour with my z-endstop, but slowly and steadily debugging it

                  Loved my Voron v0.2 build, so much fun and got lucky without many problems. The display kept screwing it up, so disconnected it and it’s been happy since. Which Voron? At that price for pegboard, printing some multi board might be cheaper! I considered doing that since I have a big boy printer, too, but decided to stick with the pegboard.

                    Yeah I’m on a 0.2, I thought it would be easy… and here I am months later! As for pegboard, I did a bit of a shop and there are some that make it to that size and thickness at a similar price, but to collect them would be a two hour drive into a whole other city

          What is this?

          I know what crimping is, and I know how to terminate an Ethernet cable, but I don’t know why you’d want to crimp 4 things at once and don’t know what those socket things you’re crimping on are?

            Ferrules - great for terminal blocks, wagos etc. It’s just for crimping one - the stripped wire goes into the plastic end, and the metal sheathing is crimped down onto the exposed wire.

        Are we sure Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm? This is the second comment dropping the Golden Crimping Code i see in like 5 minutes

        Am I the only one to call them ‘light orange’ instead of ‘orange-stripe’? I know they aren’t that color, yet whenever I’m crimping a cable and have to repeat the colors to get them in order…

      Finally a thread for me!

      I like the protected tabs because barring any absurd workspace dimensions I can use the plastic as extra leverage to press down on the tab with.

      And I like sliding the Ethernet Foreskin over the terminal after I’m done assembling it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
