If you like your resistor and diode leads to be bent uniformly and consistently, then this tool is for you. It also provides a useful task for little helpers in the house who want to assist you with your electronics projects.

Instructions:

Styles of STL files:

Metric vs. Imperial
Narrow vs. Wide
Long vs. Short

Significance of Styles:

Metric: lead spacings in increments of 2 mm
Imperial: lead spacings in increments of 0.05 inches
Narrow: for small resistors with bodies up to 6.75 mm (0.25 inches) wide
Wide: for medium resistors with bodies up to 10.50 mm (0.40 inches) wide
Long: a tool with lead spacings up to 40 mm (1.5 inches)
Short: a tool with lead spacings up to 30 mm (1.0 inch)

The two OpenSCAD source files are nearly identical with the only difference being that one has settings for metric units whilst the other imperial. As the files are fully parameterized, it is easy to change the increments, dimensions, spacings, widths, etc. of the tools by editing the OpenSCAD files and then re-rendering the tools.
