Nanoleaf Jumper Wire Jacket Scoring Tool w/ Jig
Description
Please share a make if you make one! :) Tool build and use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jlfNCeWXg8 Planned to build a set of these Nanoleafs with my son (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3354082) for him and knew stripping all these wires to the correct length would be work with a regular wire stripper so I designed this tool to score the jacket at the right length. This made it easier to have my son work on this project more as well as I wanted him to do as much of the work on this project as possible to learn about working with wire and soldering. The depth is designed such that you only strip enough to solder to the LED strip contacts and don't have slack wire exposed that could short if the jumpers get twisted or the like. Fan out your wire slightly after removing the jacket by separating the wires back about 1cm so they line up better with the LED strip contacts. Tin both your contact and your exposed wire before soldering together. We used this wire per the Thing notes: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y4716V7/ Also built a jig so my son could solder and keep these at consistent lengths. Wire jumpers for the inner leaf runs are 63mm for these LEDs when using sections of four LEDs. Used these LEDs and designed the jig to work with them: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32966375934.html You'll need a square razor (https://www.amazon.com/OEMTOOLS-25181-Razor-Blades-Pack/dp/B000CMFJZ2/) and two 10mm M3 screws. The razor is snug but goes into the slot completely just past the bolt holes. The bolts keep it in place. The razor sticks up just enough to score the jacket. Score both sides then flex to remove.
