Wires for 3D printers

  Hello. I've been using a very simple 3D print, with 2 razor blades "locked" to a set width and a 3D print set depth backstop to strip 30AWG parallel wires (2-6p) for about half a year now. I've done so many of these things. I have real gripes about 3D printing, but there are challenging ways for me to solve some of my problems. Mostly, insulation will wedge causing poor cuts and the such; also no real depth adjustment is a pain in the butt. 

  3D ORII've read a few threads and also blogs about wire strippers; some people have luck with units like the Stripax; but has anyone had to do many (40~) per project parallel 30 AWG silicone wires? Any suggestions on a tool that works?

  Hello. That’s an excellent question. You can look for precision wire strippers that can be used for small gauge wires like 30AWG. These hand-held tools provide more control and precision compared to your current setup. Brands like Knipex, Hakko, or Engineer offer quality wire strippers. Check a couple of good options here.

   

  Also, you could try to find self-adjusting wire strippers. While they are not specifically designed for 30 AWG wires, some models can handle small gauge wires effectively.
