Are they where you are? That stinks, they are cheap here in the US, especially years ago. All the mounts are custom designed and printed by me: https://nowsci.com/pegboard/
$23 for a 1.2m by 2.4 m wooden pegboard sounds like a dream. Here, you’re looking easily at £100…
Very impressed by your 3d mounts though, I’m still in the process of setting up my Voron. I’m finally down to the electrics, and am getting some weird shorting behaviour with my z-endstop, but slowly and steadily debugging it
Loved my Voron v0.2 build, so much fun and got lucky without many problems. The display kept screwing it up, so disconnected it and it’s been happy since. Which Voron? At that price for pegboard, printing some multi board might be cheaper! I considered doing that since I have a big boy printer, too, but decided to stick with the pegboard.
I know what crimping is, and I know how to terminate an Ethernet cable, but I don’t know why you’d want to crimp 4 things at once and don’t know what those socket things you’re crimping on are?
Ferrules - great for terminal blocks, wagos etc. It’s just for crimping one - the stripped wire goes into the plastic end, and the metal sheathing is crimped down onto the exposed wire.
Am I the only one to call them ‘light orange’ instead of ‘orange-stripe’? I know they aren’t that color, yet whenever I’m crimping a cable and have to repeat the colors to get them in order…
Recite the Ode after me:
Orange-stripe Orange, Green-Stripe Blue,
Blue-Stripe Green, Brown-Stripe Brown
Also: my life improved immensely when I decided to spend 12 quid to buy this:
I literally sploosh every time I use it. Doesn’t matter what the wire, length, thickness, or girth. They crimp all the same
The wall behind me. Chin up, no drooling.
Good crimpers and strippers are worth their weight in what you paid for them in pennies.
I’m impressed mostly by the size of that peg board. They’re surprisingly expensive…!

Mine, hold your excitement, mine crimps from six sides at once!!! SIX!!
Oh shit, should I send mine back?? I got it yesterday, but not sure if I cheaped out. Is 6 better than 4?
I have no clue, probably not 😅
I just wanted to add to it. And I love how the crimp… things close!
I know! It’s sooo satisfying
And you just stick all the Ethernet wires in? Like a nasty naughty little thing.
Same. https://sh.itjust.works/post/65657453
Except for the 12 quid part

I need to get some of these for my audio cable
Orange on left
Brown on right
Stripe solid stripe solid
Green green was the worst anime I have ever fucking seen
Green green bad
I hate that this is what works for me
New core memory.
Are we sure Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm? This is the second comment dropping the Golden Crimping Code i see in like 5 minutes
Lemmy Code: Shun capitalism and push crimping products. You will comply.

“white orange” in my neck of the woods.
