C.<p>I'm looking for <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/opinions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opinions</span></a> from <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/hobbyists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hobbyists</span></a> or professionals.</p><p>When I'm using a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/solderless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solderless</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/breadboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>breadboard</span></a> to prototype circuits, resistors can be frustrating. If you just keep re-using the same well-worn ones that look like a pretzel, you have to leave the leads long for the unknown next place you want to use them, and you can accidentally short something else against the leads.</p><p>Over the years I've frequently thought "Someone must make <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/jumper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jumper</span></a> wires with inline resistors so they're easy to reuse", but I've never seen them for sale. [1]</p><p>So I made a bunch. And wow, it's labour-intensive to make them well. That explains why no-one's selling them.</p><p>Would other people be interested in buying and using these? Anyone can make them, but a lot of people would rather use their limited <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/hobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hobby</span></a> time to make their projects, not make things they need to make their <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/projects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>projects</span></a>.</p><p>I've reduced the amount of time to make them and will keep trying, but I would have to charge at least US $30 for a pack of ten. There are ways to reduce it further, but they require a significant investment in equipment, so I'd have to be selling quite a few.</p><p>I make them with good materials - silicone 26AWG <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/wire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wire</span></a> for flexibility, name-brand 1% metal film <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/resistors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resistors</span></a>, total length 24cm.</p><p>Would anyone want these?</p><p>[1] Closest thing I've found is <a href="https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1438.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">dfrobot.com/product-1438.html</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> but they're rigid so you need to use an additional wire anyway if you're not connecting exactly that distance through clear space.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a></p>
