Thin wire.

I’m still discovering new ways to break thermocouples. Fortunately I’m becoming quite adept at making them, so it’s just a matter of making them and breaking them until I’ve figured out all the ways of breaking them so that I can avoid those.

I’ve discovered that if I drag the thin wires around sharp edges it makes them much more fragile.
