Mr_rye89’s WOPL 400 Build Containment Thread

I made the mistake of typing that in with safe search off......

I'll grab some of those next time I'm at lowes. My Klein Katapults and T stripper won't do 'em and so I've been using electrician's scissors with blood pressure raising results......

Katapults work great on PVC but not on Teflon

Yep, they form a tough "Stalk" so they don't get jostled and bent and broken when you catch the soldering iron cord, your sleeve, beer bottle etc... on them. kinda like this.

Kyle, I had a red bias wire burn through when I built my first 400. There were several broken strands at the backplane board from stressing them during assembly, and yes, I probably nicked them when stripping. I should have secured them in a bundle with a zip tie. If you check out photos of Perry's builds you'll see his technique.
I have reduced this issue by using Phoenix Contact Connectors on the backplanes and control board for those fine gauge wires.
 
I pulled out the fuses and found 15A ones in all the holders.....WTF!

Anyways are Mouser's AGX fuses in the 5 pack or individual? $3 per fuse is highway robbery......
