Design and print a custom connector for the Creality printer with swappable hot end

In this video I show how I design a custom connector for my swappable hot end I use on my Creality CR-10 and Ender 3 pro. This is basically a modified D-sub connector housing in which I can add whatever I like. For example a bowden tube coupler, the shell or even the whole holder! I've printed a modified Molex connector a while ago at my work and that's where this idea came from. I think it would be interesting to upload different connector segments so you can design your own connector.

I'm going to take a further look into the necessary tools for crimping and inserting the connections itself because how I've done it in this video is far from ideal.

The design can be downloaded from my website https://properprinting.pro/product/custom-d-sub-connector/
