Print the tool on a 3D printer. +2. Put a LED bulb-first into the tool hole. Especially on first use, make sure that it's all the way in. + - The LED should only fit in one orientation. +3. Use a pair of wire cutters to cut the LED legs as close to the tool's surface as possible. +4. Take a cable fitted with JST ZH-4 connectors and push one connector firmly onto the LED legs inside the tool. + - The connector, too, should only (fully) fit in one orientation. + - You may need to bend the LED legs a little to get them to a pitch close enough to 1.5mm that the connector will slide on. +5. Pull the cable to remove the connector and LED from the tool. +6. Repeat steps 2-5 for every LED you need to prepare. + ## Components - WS2812-compatible 5mm bulb LEDs: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005003701575.html - Black 5mm LED sockets: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005062684329.html - ESP32-C3 Super Mini: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006252882434.html -- JST-ZH cables: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007298855435.html +- JST-ZH cables: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007298855435.html (4P, Reversed) [spaceapi]: https://spaceapi.io
