DMX / USB-C Adapter Box for Amaran t2c/t4c or Nanlite

thingiverse

I wanted a way to connect into my t2c/t4c lights and at the time, Aputure did not have any connector cables available. I created this little box as a way to solve that issue. **DMX/XLR Connectors:** https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800377393550.html (these are cheap and they feel cheap, but they size correctly) **USB-C Breakout Board:** https://www.amazon.com/Teansic-Socket-Female-Connector-Transfer/dp/B0B1MN1CZ5/ https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803091532027.html (not sure about exact fit in model) You may be able to get away with just the Female socket ones, but the model was constructed for the male/female board -- I do not recommend using both sides for chaining. My build used the ones from the Amazon link above.

I have also included the Blender file (no judgement) so you can modify the model as needed for different parts. Yes, I use a lot of booleans... BTW, the indentation side is for the press-release tab on the female connector. **Final words:** If you are just connecting a couple lights and/or want to avoid DIY issues, you are probably better off (time/money) purchasing the Aputure cable (if available): https://shop.aputure.com/products/amaran-type-c-to-dmx-adapter. Also, Nanlite cables tend to be a fairly inexpensive and available - so consider that too, if applicable. For cabling, make sure you don't put too much pressure on the breakout boards directly, they can snap off very easily.
