Device Connector

Postby Duncan » Tue Feb 04, 2020 3:35 pm

Hi Everyone
I am looking for a HP-IL device connector does anyone know where to get one? Alternatively has anyone had any successful experience of Martin Hepperle's 3D printed solution and associated STL files. I have tried providing the same 3D supplier that Martin used for his DIY HP-IL connector solution with the STL files but they rejected them saying they contained too many parts.

Hi,

I printed the HP-IL connectors and get them to work. However, I use a resin 3D printer and I'm not quite satisfied with the fit and look and feel.

Let me know if I can help.

Regards,
Bas

Hi wbvreeuwijk
I have been quite successful creating a device connector using a modified STL file provided by Martin Hepperle. I used it to create a device connector for my PIL box so I can plug original HP-IL cables into it without needing to destroy them! Please find attached a PDF document describing how I made it.

@Duncan - it appears there is no document attached. Please do so when convenient, I think it's something lots of folks are interested in.

Hi wbvreeuwijk
My apologies the document is over 1MB the attachment limit (whats all that about?!) even when zipped (only just) and I didn't see the error message so I have split it into parts 1 & 2 so I will send it in 2 parts, part 1 with this message.

@Duncan - In your part 2 PDF you mention using a "Knipex Crimping tool". Do you happen to know which tool this was?

Just for grins I'm going to try making my own HP-IL cable. I have the wire, professionally 3D printed housings, and pins (the stupid expensive ones . . .).

Thanks!

**edit** Never mind. I just found my answer in the documentation. It is a RS Components 2601548, which is a Knipex 9761.
