Best sfic core repinning tool

thingiverse

This is a basic 3D printed sfic core repinning tool. It's likely not as effective as a metal version, but it gets the job done. Print it sideways, so that the hole for the core points upwards. You'll probably need to clean all the holes for the pins with a small needle file. Print it in clear PLA plastic. It looks nicer and helps you see what you're doing a bit better. Beads are pretty tight, so it requires precise printing. The lid is designed to catch the parts when you push out the plugs, springs, and pins. For pushing out and also repinning and resetting the pins and plugs, use small Allen wrenches or welding wire (I would add a handle with an end stop). I made this for a friend and it has been tested. Sfic core repinning is still not that easy without some practice.
