panduit egjt-1 cat 6 compression crimper tool

I tried one that I found online and kept destroying it. I built this one to be more reinforced and 'closer' to the original design in the ways that matter. so far it seems if you use a thicker paper clip of wire this will work. I originally wanted filament to be the hinge, but that's not strong enough.

I printed this with both pieces on the edges with organic supports from build plate only. If you have any suggestions to make it stronger please let me know.

UPDATE: after many different tweaks I think I found one that can take quite a bit of abuse. Use V5.
