Wagoβs Online Community Is Full Of Neat Wago Tools
Wago connectors are somewhat controversial in the electrical worldβbeloved by some, decried by others. The company knows it has a dedicated user base, though, and has established the Wago Creators site for that very community.
The idea behind the site is simpleβitβs a place to discover and share unique little tools and accessories for use with Wagoβs line of electrical connectors. Most are 3D printed accessories that make working with Wago connectors easier. There are some fun and innovative ideas up there, like an ESP8266 development kit that has a Wago connector for all the important pins, as well as a tool for easily opening the lever locks. Perhaps most amusing, though, is the project entitled βHide Your Wago From Americansββwhich consists of a 3D-printed wire nut lookalike designed to slide over the connectors to keep them out of view. Thereβs also a cheerful attempt at Wago art, that doesnβt really look like anything recognizable at all. Oh well, they canβt all be winners.
Itβs great to see Wago so openly encouraging creativity among those that use its products. The sharing of ideas has been a big part of the 3D printing movement, and Wago isnβt the first company to jump on the bandwagon in this regard. If youβve got some neat Wago hacks of your own, you can always let us know on the tipsline!
