Mini Dupont crimper rework (reinforced)

thingiverse

Just reinforced the joint so it won't break as easily, but this one needs supports. I have to admit, I printed it and it didn't really work - you're better off buying a real crimping tool online. You can only crimp a few of them if you're desperate. The alternative doesn't need any support. REMIX form: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:638019 This is for tiny crimp-on Dupont connectors that fit inside 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. This won't crush the connector tightly, but it's enough to get those little tabs folding in the right way so you can squish it flat with needle-nose pliers. You can also give the crimper a smack with a hammer to close the jaws tighter after closing it as much as possible by hand. Feel free to mix this up and make a stronger one if you like. You can get uncrimped connectors and plugs at places like banggood.com for about $7 - the real tool is available there too for $17. Print it solid, with some swearing and a magnifying glass, you can make your own custom plugs!
