SN Dupont Holder Tool Adapter by laxde

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a tool to hold a dupont female connector in the SN plier (Orange handle). It make it so easy to crimp the dupont female connector correctly every time.
There are only 2 small issues with the SN plier crimp tool left.
The wings for the coating must be bent in a little or else they will bent out instead of in around the coating.
After crimping the part around the coating is too flat to go into the plastic housing. I use the front of the plier to make it more like a "square". A bit hard to describe how-to but you will know you got it then it goes into the plastic and it just clicks first time every time :-)
Enjoy.
P.S. I designed and tested it in FreeCAD first which is included here the design and stl file. After got it working I wrote an OpenSCAD script which generates the same stl file. The OpenSCAD is more easy to read and modify.
Modification may be needed if your plastic shrink differently than mine. Hint, therefore the source design is included.
I found that the hole for the connector must be tight to hold it from turning. My print were hand to insert it but I held it and just banked it into the adaptor the first time. If this goes correctly the connector goes loosely after the first time and have a tight fit.
