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.

    It’s still very early, I only printed a couple of them as alpha tests and haven’t given any to others to test on set. So far the issue is that I have to re-do all my P-tap cables with this new connector hehe. The things I will focus on is proper fitting without getting stuck or falling out, which also happens on regular connectors due to the bad bad bad core design that even my version can’t really solve, like no locking like P-Tap, and the fact that v+ can connect before GND pin, causing issues with sensitive devices. But again that’s inherent to all D-Tap connectors, and can’t be solved short of switching to Lemo.
