Through-Hole Component Lead Bending Jig

thingiverse

Simple jig to help bend the leads on through-hole components before soldering in a standard perfboard with a pitch of 0.1" (2.54 mm). The finished jig kinda looks like the steep stairway up a ziggurat. Updated from the original to provide individual segments for each selected integer multiple of perfboard holes to span. Sloped relief on the walls helps to get 90° bends on the leads. A set of elliptical relief cuts on the underside reduce the amount of resin or filament required to print this. Print it with whatever settings make you happy.
