Particle Photon Breadboard Puller Tool [Thingiverse]

Hardware

I created this tool today at work. It can be used to pull Photons out of breadboards or headers. I hope you guys find it useful. I certainly do.

So I’m not the only guy who regularly bends pins or sticks them through my skin sometimes trying to pull out Photons and Electrons from protoboards! :smile:

Something like this should be included in the or be part of the case the Photon comes in.

They say “Necessity is the Mother of All Inventions”. This is a prime example of that I would say :slight_smile:

If you want me to make Electron and Feather versions I can.

EDIT:
Making an Electron version may be less feasible because of the components on the underside near the edges.

Don’t do it just for me, I don’t have a 3D printer to print them out anyways.

I do think this is a common problem people have.

Update:

I’ve improved the model by rounding the edges so they aren’t as sharp.

For those of us who do not have 3D printers, have you given any thought to producing and selling these?

Yeah if there were enough of you guys interested I guess.

Awesome design and idea. Great work.

I’ve made a Feather version that should work with all Feather boards:
