Post-Printing

  • Remove the metal shell from the D-Sub connector
    (drilling out the hollow rivets works best)
  • Shape the plastic inset to match the mounting hole in the printed part
    (you need to cut or sand down the two lower edges, see image of parts)
  • Mount the anti-kink sleeve by pushing it through the side mounting hole
    (a screwdriver works wonders here)
  • Insert the cable, solder the terminals
    (and test everything! - ask me how I know)
  • Glue the terminals into the printed part with some super glue
