Proto-board link wire tidy

thingiverse

This device will keep your spare prototyping board link wires under control. Use foam tape or M3 bolts to attach. V2 has lip to retain wires and V3 has lip and double-spaced slots. Mount these other way up from photo. (The arms of the wide version are the same length despite what the STL viewer looks like.) Instructions Print it and use it! I use 40 way male - male header cables stripped down. These fit better on 0.1" pitch than the round end type, can be used to make custom IDC cables and are a lot cheaper then buying packs of singles. They're also good for mounting sensors off-board, either into proto-board or soldered into a PCB. Buy a couple of 10cm cables and a couple of 20cm cables and you'll have enough link wires for the rest of your life.
