I had a hard time printing the original, so I decided to redo the whole thing so it could print better
it still is not as good a tool as one would hope, as spacing the wires wide enough for plastic dividers to be in between them makes them unsuitable for inserting into a rj45 plug
but
it does hold the cable while you sort out the wires
if you keep the wires longer than the comb (NOT like the picture) you can trim after you get them sorted so they fit in the plug better
maybe someone will be motivated enough that they can improve on this and make a better comb, like I tried. I have one more idea, so expect an update in about 2-4 years (I don't wire up ethernet cables enough to fix it any sooner)
