I redesigned the D-Tap connector
(i.imgur.com)
This connector is very common in the filmmaking industry. It’s also the pest connector ever. Flimsy, bulky, awkward, and hard to assemble. So I redesigned it and 3D printed it.

How how could that sucker get? It looks like it's got some beefy connections. Any worries about melting?
It’s CF PETg, if you reach the 250°c melting temp, you’re probably having some other more serious issues than the connector melting lol. This is carrying 12v 10a tops at peak draw (that’s the max most batteries used can provide). The original D-tap is ABS, often of questionable quality, I’m considering using ABS, nylon, or ASA as alternatives but I have much more experience with this CF-PETg filament.
