Printed DNA30 Bottom Feeder

[jakematic]

Finally got fed up with my 35+ year old wire strippers not quite cutting the mustard.

If anyone needs a new pair, these are WELL worth the $20
Irwin model 2078300 available at Lowes and probably a dozen other places.

• Self-adjusting stripper strips wire from 10-24 AWG
• Adjustable stopper controls the length of the core strip
• Swivel knob micro-adjusts for gauges smaller than 20 AWG
• Wire crimper crimps 10-22 AWG insulated, 10-22 AWG non-insulated and 7-9mm ignition terminals
• Wire cutter extends versatility
• ProTouch™ grips provide maximum comfort and reduced hand fatigue

NB: I am in no way affiliated with any of the companies mentioned, I just like this tool

Never stopped me before, it's just a delayed reaction on this trip

wonder if they work on cloth-covered wire?

Yes, I have the same thing, different brand but same device, and it does work on this old house's 1950s wiring.

I don't see why not unless it was really thin cloth or had a really high tensile strength.

Can't seem to find any around here to try it on

 

[timj]

Wow I love this. Great work, keep it up!

Looking for one that ships here. I've been looking a while to get one of these but I always tend to forget. In UK the same one costs 35 pounds lol.

Try a coax or fibre optic stripper.

I've had one like this for eons.

I've got a first day cover (philately collectible) that flew on Challenger, but dang it would be cool to have a GDNA from space.

 

[mikepetro]

Make it a Plate Block FDC and you would REALLY have something.

Way cool clip, opens lots of possibility.

I feel your pain, I have a current order on Shapeways that was supposed to ship on the 2nd. Got the delay letter saying it would ship by the 8th. Now I could be reading the calendar wrong but it looks like the 19th today? One small part on a large order that has gone from pending to in-production about 6 times that I've seen. No follow up, no apology ... nothing ... and they recently sent me an email telling me I'm "special" and have one of their top shops. They drive me crazy at times. Lol

I have received that delay email too. Usually it happens when your order has a mix of parts with longer lead time materials and with WSF parts. I noticed that they delay starting the fast production part (WSF) till the last minute. Then something happens, the long lead time parts are done but the WSF is still in production. Either one of their tech fell asleep at the printer and botched it or they are having queuing issues because of WSF order volume. When I get this email I email them right back and request for them to send the parts they have and request that they send it for free. (worked twice!) If the parts are all for the same mod, I just wait and get .......

Even with these faults, my experience with their customer service has always be satisfactory. They always respond quickly to issues and complaints and have reprinted parts (if out of spec) for free. Overall its not that bad of service. I have a mod out getting Hydrodripped. Its been over three weeks and the guy takes a week to respond to my emails and I still have no ETA.

And I'm a little jealous of the "your special" love letter...
