Another D-Sub housing?
Actually I was surprised to not find more and better models out there already...
D-Sub connectors are quite commonly used and I usually have the connectors in my junk-boxes. But what about the housings? For the first they are often quite pricy in comparison to the connectors and they are also a bit bulky. So why not store a file instead and print them on demand?

Printer Brand:

Printer:
Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2
Rafts:

Supports:
No
Resolution:
0.2 mm
Infill:
20%
Filament: Clas Ohlson PLA orange
Notes:
The design can be printed without supports. There might be some stringing inside the hole for the hex nuts, but this can be easily cleaned out.
You need to print two copies of the shell. Use two M3 x 15mm screws to clamp the two halves together.
How I Designed This
The design is based on commonly available shell housing for D-Sub connectors. I went for a design with screws instead of snaps for stability and longevity reasons. The screw holes are countersunk M3x15 screws and hex nuts.rnrnThe dimensions of the D-Sub connectors are taken from the datasheets of ITT Cannon, Assmann and PDI with some averaging between the values. The design has been tested with 9-pin, 15-pin (dual row), and 25-pin connectors.rnrnAs for other shells this design consists of two identical halves.
