Axial-Radial Lead Bender

When building electronic an prototype, using a solderless breadboard or a PCB, you always need to bent leads of components to the correct spacing. A lead bender is a good tool for this. This design is a remix of OneByteGone's nice lead bender (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6703/files). That lead bender is good for axial leaded components (think leaded resistors), but many components have radial lead (think leaded ceramic capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, radial chock inductors). So added to the axial lead bender I added a radial lead bender. Just push the component, gently, into the appropriate pair of holes. The pair of holes are numbered 1 thru 8 which means 0.1 inches thru 0.8 inches. I also indicates the number of spaces desired in a typical solderless breadboard (if the leads are 4 spaces apart, bend using the number 4 hole pair).
