Hi SMA
You may have already figured this out but I thought I might post this idea for obtaining heaps of detailing wire for builds.
As most printers are connected to PCs via network or usb these days the serial cables have become a thing of the past. At my local dump/recycling centre they have boxes and boxes of old computer cables
This one is a old zip drive cable that I found.
I cut the ends off and cut the plastic sheath off
After removing the braided/foil wrap you have multi coloured wires
I hope this is of some use.
