IEC 309 Connector

thingiverse

The human body requires a special connector that can withstand harsh industrial power cables, which is why a custom-made 90-degree IEC 309 plug socket is necessary. This innovative design has been successfully tested in a hospital in Nepal where it provides reliable power to a dental surgery tent. **Print Settings:** * **Printer Brand:** Up! * **Printer Model:** Up Plus2 * **Rafts:** Yes * **Supports:** Yes * **Resolution:** 0.1-0.2 mm * **Infill:** 50-100% **Notes:** Printing in the shown orientation is crucial as it minimizes support material on the functional part of the connector, ensuring a precise fit. High resolution printing guarantees accurate dimensions for the connector's functional part, while increased infill provides higher strength. **Design Process:** To create this custom 90-degree IEC 309 plug socket, careful measurements were taken by hand from the original broken part. Subsequently, high-speed low-resolution 3D printed prototypes were created to verify the connection fit, which ultimately led to the development of this reliable design.
