3M connector with latches 3428, 2 row x 10, 20 pin straight solder

Firstly, kudos go out to CountSpatula for creating an incredible model! I've been working on this project for a while now, and I'm thoroughly impressed by the level of detail that's gone into it. I was initially stumped when trying to locate the actual 20-pin header connector, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with the printed one since it lacked exposed pins. The solution turned out to be surprisingly straightforward. Simply jam some header pins into the ribbon cable connector and drill a hole in the header connector itself. The tolerances are extremely tight, so it may take several attempts to get the pins aligned properly as you assemble it. I strongly advise against forcing the issue, as this can cause the pins to shift, resulting in unevenness. Trust me on this one – I've been there before!
