DIP IC Squisher (Oomlout inspired)
thingiverse
This DIY jig utilizes standard skateboard bearings and M8 bolts to straighten outward pins of new DIP IC packages. 3D printed with a layer height of 0.2mm in PLA on an Ultimaker 1, the design is sliced using Cura with top/bottom layers at 1.2mm, walls at 1.2mm, and a fill percentage of 15%. The jig lacks adjustable width slots; however, wider holes would allow for customization. Inspiration stems from Oomlout's ICSQ, which was created using a laser cutter, itself inspired by Evil Mad Scientists' blog post on innovative electronics tools. Old and worn bearings, unsuitable for road use, work perfectly for this simple application. Just remember to add a washer above and below each bearing for optimal performance.
