As I wanted to join the "Go Big" competition I decided to scale up a popular thing amongst makers and electronics people - a jumper wire.

I designed and scaled up the model in Fusion 360.

Next, I printed everything out of black PLA with no support material. Other settings do not matter.

Getting the Pins

Then I hit the plastic part a few times with a hammer to remove the metal pin.

I removed insulation from the multimeter wires and soldered them directly to the pins.

Now, I put the metal pins through holes and secured everything with a bit of glue.

Now you can plug the cable into your giant breadboard. What... you don't have one? Watch out for my next Instructable then. Cya!
