Thanks.

            <description><![CDATA[ instead of ferrules, i am just using thin 1.5mm diameter copper pipes from a crafts shop. cut into 6mm (or 8mm) lengths, you can have the nichrome and an AWG26 wire fit instead, crimp and you are good to go.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Alright, so I checked out Reprap's Part Lister and found the bootlace ferrule listed there. I am located in the US, so the supplier provided won't work for me. The webpage for the ferrule recommended by the Part's lister is:<br />
[<a href="http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=updateShoppingCart" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">uk.rs-online.com</a>]<br />
<br />
The specs are 1mm^2 wire, 2.2mm depth. <br />
<br />
I checked out digikey, and found:<br />
[<a href="http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&amp;name=288-1088-ND" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">search.digikey.com</a>]<br />
<br />
The specs are 1mm^2 wire (18awg) and 6mm depth. <br />
<br />
So I am thinking the ferrule I found on digikey will work then?<br />
<br />
Thanks guys.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Alright. So which bootlace did you use? (Can you give me a link?) I need to purchase one quickly as our machine needs to be done within a few weeks. <br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
