    As an aside, I am #3dprinting these hard-to-find 23-pin D-sub shells. I’m actually using crimp contacts in them, since they’re still available (even new if you want to pay $0.40/contact - I got these from a surplus seller). The contacts push into the shell, and the crimp tails are soldered to the board. The shell is also has a retention flange that prints at an angle so the shell can be printed without supports.

    The parametric model is here: dominionofawesome.com/obj/para. If you’re looking for contacts, these are TE (formerly AMP) 66503.
