 Still tweaking the “wire measuring device” and almost there…? I gave up on adding a cutter and I’ll just cut them manually as the machine spits out the proper length.

 @6ee90ca1 Cool! 
 @6ee90ca1 does it pause because there’s a sensor to read, or just to ensure there’s no momentum and slip?

Asking because I have a similar device I’ve always wanted to build for a family member’s business (for something more like hose than wire), but I assumed I’d use a button, a read out, and let them manually stop at length.
