Challenges

Nearly every project requires many electrical connections. There are too many different shapes, sizes, and varieties of electrical connectors, switches, plugs, and receptacles to count. Additionally, each often requires it's own special tools, processes, consumables, etc.

Approaches

Electrical connector

Wherever possible, replimat projects are wired with versatile and fully reusable 221-615 five 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 -
