I saw some posts about 3d printed IC leg benders but cannot for the life of me find them again. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
IC Leg Benders

I could find those from european vendors:

You can most likely find them in the US too.

Googeling "DIP / DIL ICs pin Straightener" gave me results like these:

Is there something similar for axial component leg bending (i.e., for consistent tagboard installation). I know there are commercial options, but the ones I've seen seem to have pretty terrible reviews.

Awesome. Thanks! Now to find a way to print it…
oh.. 3d printers WERE cheap not to long ago. I got a decent sized UV for under 200. and the smaller nozzle(FDM is their name) run far less, some under $100 if you get it asa kit that you need to find your own square tubing for a frame. Been eyeballing a Creality Ender series to make the bigger stuff like p-up routing jigs... there's even files for a whole ST/TC body you can assemble like a jigsaw puzzle. This rabbit hole is just as bad as pedal building, if not worse

JLCPCBs 3d printing is a steal compared to other 3d printing on demand services. Only one I use now.
Edit:
Ordered two 3d prints from those results @Deperduci thank you so much! Also ordered one of those benders @yeeeargh thanks so much
