Generic connector header adaptor or cap
Description
So on my Raspberry Pi Zero WH I wanted a way to cover the unused pin of the 40 pin header (2 columns X 20 rows). Blocked the unused pins did two things for me, 1) reduce the accident of shorting pins together while tinkering with it on my desk and 2) after I unplug a connector make it easer to plug it back into the same location. I wanted my design to be flexible, so it can do a lot more than what I initial started with. The thing is fully customizable. You can change the number of columns and rows. You can changed the pin pitch, add labels, make it a cap/cover, or make it an adaptor that accepts crimped pins/wires and locks it in to position. WARNING: This was designed in OpenSCAD and while Thingiverse does have it's Customizer it doesn't display it very well. OpenSCAD is free, so just download and use it and you'll be happier with the results. I haven't had time to print one, but really wanted to share it, so please post picture if you do print this. The default connector size it pretty small, so if using a normal 3D printer, I might suggest you switch out the 0.4 nozzle for a 0.2 or even a 0.1 nozzle. It should build the walls better this way and make the text come out better. I plan on using my Resin printer, so not as much of an issue for me.
