It's a minor thing but the Virpil XS9 connector is straight, quite long and ugly. Plus it got in the way.
I can't find any right-angle XS9 connectors, so I made this adapter that converts a straight XS9 into a right angle XS9. Be careful when assembling. You'll be twisting on the adapter and that will twist the wires you've just soldered in… So leave some slack, strip back the outer jacket a fair bit, pay attention and untwist as you go!! (This is probably why you can't buy them)
(An alternative might be to strip off the threads and glue it onto the connector head with epoxy, avoiding the twisting)
The thread is M9 0.75mm… so clearly it's a tricky one to print on FDM, but my BambuLab A1 with BBL PLA on High Quality (with support) did a great job.
Before (yuck):
Take a straight XS9 connector:
And add the adapter:
Now that is neat.
