I've been using this JST tweezers whenever I'm modding 3d printers. If you're like me, I find it difficult to pull out JST connectors and seems no tool is available to make the process easier. Often, I would accidentally pull including the JST housing iteslf! So I thought, this has to stop! That's why I designed this tweezers to easily pull out and press JST connectors. Pulling and pressing JST connectors from PCBs and NEMA stepper motors has never been easier! Furthermore, it's just a quick print and it uses less than a meter of filament.

Having recently acquired and clogged my Bambu Lab X1C (great printer btw!), I once again able to use this trusty tweezers to de-clog the extruder and I thought of releasing the STL for Bambu Lab printer owners as well as to those who just love to mod their 3d printers.

The tweezer should fit both wide (6+ pins) and narrow (2-pin) JST connectors. Fully tested on PH2.5, PH2.0, and smaller pitch JST connectors. Should work on any JST that would fit the tweezers teeth.

It's easy to use. Just pinch on the JST connector on its side (not the pins side) and let the teeth slide automatically into the JST notch. Wiggle the connector a bit as you pull it out.

Video below shows how easy it is to pull and press JST connectors in the X1C printhead with the aid of this tweezer.

IMPORTANT: Print using 0.4mm nozzle or smaller to ensure the tweezer \u201cteeth\u201d are printed to specs. 0.6mm or larger nozzle may be too big to print the teeth.

I would appreciate posting makes and pics of where you're using this JST tweezers.
