Project
This page is dedicated to the design and development of a parametric D-Sub Connector. This project would allow for replacement connectors to be made easily and cheaper than buying new ones when they break. The parametric aspect would allow someone to change the size and shape of the connector simply by changing the number of pins in the connector. This project will be performed by the students listed above as a part of the MY4777 2016 Class.
Prototype
Concept
The Parametric D-Sub Connector will be made up of a 2 piece case, connection plate, wires, and pins. The only parts of the connector that will not be 3-D Printed are the wires and the pins. The pins will be pushed through the pre-printed holes and the attached wires will be fed through the exit of the connector. The angle of the exit and the size of the connector will be easily modified with the changing of several values in the source code.
