Bundling DuPont connectors: 3D Printing Everyday for 365 Days 282/365 #stem #3dprinting #3dprint #ideas – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/15

Nice idea: [Wayback/Archive] 3D Printing Everyday for 365 Days 282/365 #stem #3dprinting #3dprint #ideas – YouTube

It mentions DuPont wire connectors which is colloquial for a common form of jump wires: the ones that can connect to breadboards, or male or female pin headers. Basically a so called “DuPont wire” is an electric wire with a pin header (either male or female) on each end leading to 3 kinds (not counting ones having multiple connectors on each wire) as male – female is the same as male – female:

  • female – female
  • female – male
  • male – male

Being able to group the connector end of multiple jump wires in one enclosing connector for quick opening and closing is a great idea.

Hopefully the 3D printing files will be released somewhere.

One of the comments is also inspiration for a future 3D printing project:

Weerstand van koperdraad – Koperdraad: Gegevens – Wikipedia

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/02

Voor warmteontwikkeling in koperkabel was ik benieuwd wat de weerstand voor diverse diameters was.

Gelukkig heeft de Nederlandse pagina Koperdraad: Gegevens – Wikipedia deze tabel (let op weerstand is per 100m!)¹

Dennard scaling – Wikipedia: finally learned why since 20 years, maximum CPU frequency stagnated at about 4 Ghz

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/29

Dennard scaling – Wikipedia

Since around 2005–2007 Dennard scaling appears to have broken down. As of 2016, transistor counts in integrated circuits are still growing, but the resulting improvements in performance are more gradual than the speed-ups resulting from significant frequency increases.[1][10] The primary reason cited for the breakdown is that at small sizes, current leakage poses greater challenges and also causes the chip to heat up, which creates a threat of thermal runaway and therefore further increases energy costs.[1][10] Since 2005, the clock frequency has stagnated at 4 GHz, and the power consumption per CPU at 100 W TDP.

NEN 5152 – Wikipedia: “Technische tekeningen – Elektrotechnische symbolen”

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/06/24

Apart from the 1973 and 1977 editions mentioned in NEN 5152 – Wikipedia it also links to a 2016 edition. After a little digging, it has at least had new editions in these  years:

[Wayback/Archive] Electronic Basics by GreatScott! – YouTube

At the time of writing these were some 60 videos each 5-15 minutes long in reversed order (#1 at the bottom, at the top).

This means it is about 10 hours of watching time well worth it.

William Le’s Perpetual Motion Machine ver.2 – (plz visit my Amazon sto – LovelyWings)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/12

Want: [Wayback/Archive] William Le’s Perpetual Motion Machine ver.2 – (plz visit my Amazon sto – LovelyWings

I think I like the transparent version most, but the wood versions (yellow or brown) of course have more mystery.

There are more products in [Wayback/Archive] Wooden Kinetic Sculpture for Art Lovers – LovelyWings.

You can buy some of them at [Wayback/Archive] Amazon.com: LovelyWings, for instance the brown version of the [Wayback/Archive] Amazon.com: Perpetual Motion Machine – Infinitive Marble Machine – William Le’s Perpetual Motion Simulator : Handmade Products.

Busch-Jaeger – 6815U schakelmateriaal (comfort, IR)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/28

Voor mijn link archief: links rondom Busch-Jaeger – 6815U schakelmateriaal (comfort, IR) via [Wayback/Archive] busch jaeger 6815 – Google Search..

Doet officieel geen LED en spaarlamp, maar schijnt meestal wel te werken. Hopelijk is dit een opstap voor schakelmateriaal wat altijd met LED en spaarlamp werkt.

Het grote voordeel van deze schakelaars plus bijbehorende functie-kapjes is dat ze tegelijk op IR+tijd en handmatig kunnen werken. Dus vanzelf aan/uit met IR+tijd, maar ook handmatig aan/uit zetten of combinaties.

How TINY Can I go? The BEST Power Board is here! – YouTube – GreatScott!

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/23

[Wayback/Archive] How TINY Can I go? The BEST Power Board is here! – YouTube – GreatScott!

I will try to remake an AliExpress PCB. It is a very handy voltage converter that can take a varying battery voltage and convert it into 3.3V or 5V while only requiring very little current (25uA) on the input. Sounds awesome, but the board is way too huge. That is why I try to push the size limits in this video to the minimum.
