Description

PDF

Use this guide to make neat 90 degree bends of the leads of a through-hole electronic component.

The bend radius is 1 mm to make a gentle bend that meets electronic industry minimum radius guidelines.

I printed with the narrow edge on the build plate, so the layer lines go through the stepped areas and won't easily shear off.
