Mini Dupont crimper

pinshape

This is for those tiny crimp on dupont connectors that fit inside the plugs that plug into the RAMPS board. Tolerances on this are extremely tight! Don't feel bad if you can't print a working one - it's not going to crush the connector tight, but it will get those little tabs to start folding in the right way so you can squish it flat with some needle nose pliers. You can also give the crimper a smack with a hammer to close the jaws tighter after you've closed it as much as you can by hand. Feel free to mix this up and make a stronger one if you like. The uncrimped connectors and plugs are available at places like banggood.com for about $7, and the real tool is also there for $17. Print it solid. With some swearing and a magnifying glass, you can make your own custom plugs! Print it solid. This isn't a substitute for a real crimper but better than nothing. Assemble with a 2mm machine screw.
