3D printed Cluster connector

I just wrapped up my 3d printed 70-76 cluster design and was starting to think about wiring. I could pick up almost all the signals I need straight from the factory connector if I had a plug that fit and I really don't want to hack up the harness unless necessary.

I designed/printed one tonight, designed to use these (https://www.molex.com/en-us/products/part-detail/02092118) molex .093 pins. It retains the lock feature on the pins and has a guard around the area that is exposed (you can't seat face to face because of the feature on the pins that keeps them locked into the connector)

If anyone is interested in a model file, or just a stl for printing on any home printer, let me know.

Perfect! I’d love an stl file. ABS?

I did my trial parts in PLA, but my final part in ABS. I adjusted the dimensions to match the shrink I saw on my printer, so some tweaking might be required on a per printer basis. I have a .step file for anyone who wants the model, it would be easier to tweak if required.

Is this the same size as a '68 Barracuda connector, and are you selling these??

Based on pictures of a 67-69 cluster, it looks like it would fit, but I'd need someone to take a couple measurements off of a cluster to be sure.

I wasn't planning on selling them, it was more about giving something to the community. If you want to take measurements off your cluster PM me and you can confirm for all of us that it will/won't fit on the earlier clusters. You pay shipping and you'll need order pins.

Another member who reached out to me has the pins for sale, so I'm going to name drop him @MoparMike1974 and leave a link to his website.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at the step file.

I gave this info to a few people who wanted to print these themselves. Depending on the printer there will be some shrinkage, and possible some stringing. Check these after printing and if needed clean them out with the appropriate sized drill bit.

.270 Hole in the middle
.112 Key Width
.125 top of pin hole
.181 Bottom of pin hole - By hand only. The step down from .181 to .125 is what allows the pin to lock into place.

This could be modified to eliminate the guard/lip, which would look better but would require a pin removal tool. The current design can have the pins removed with a pick and some time.
