    Was curious if anyone had either modeled or found a pre-fabricated connector? I want one connector to use for easy disconnects of all extruder end connections. This way I can pull one plug and remove the entire carriage. Was going to model something and add the required pins but wanted to ask first.

    There are quite a few in the 3D printer community that use something like an 8-pin PCI-E connector and socket, much easier than trying to reinvent the wheel, something like this pair:

    And matching terminals:
