Problem

Electrical connectors proliferate. Each requiring it's own special tooling, processes, adapters, etc.

Approach

Electrical connector

Wherever possible, replimat projects are wired with versatile and fully reusable 5 position Wago lever nuts or equivalent terminal blocks (link?).

Printable electrical switch

Rationale:

The printable electrical switch may be one of the only replimat components that’s more expensive than it’s commercially available counterpart. But all its subcomponents can be fully recovered and repurposed for use in other replimat components.

Current components:

Interoperability:

Development targets:

  • Printable electrical switch v0.1 - just nuts, bolts, and printed parts
  • Printable foot switch v0.1 -
  • Printable tool trigger v0.1 -
