First of all, this design is heavily inspired by Mundo Electronica's “Breadboard Jumper Tool” at Breadboard Jumper Tool by Junikos - Thingiverse. Which is a great design for stripping AWG 22-24 wires with the use of pliers like the ones that usually come with 3D printers, but I found it pretty slow for cutting it with a blade or a knife, which is the method I'm used to, so I designed this new version so it could be a little bit more friendly with this method.

I've taken most of the measurements from the original model, and if you are more used to pliers, you should  definitely check out the original, but for those more used to stripping wires with blades, this should be a little bit better.

If there are issues with this model please let me know so I can solve it or release a version more specific to your needs. I've also included a STEP file so anyone can remix it however they want :D.

To use this tool, first you'll need to introduce the wire in the correct slot and cut it with some pliers:

Then, you'll grab your blade/knife and mark the wire along the marks of the tool:

Then, remove the wire and strip it with the same blade/knife you used to mark it:

And the result should look something like this :)
