Well, actually I'm a graphic designer ;) Don't be jealous: also your drawings are OK.
What tools? Do you mean to crimp the QL SER plug? A bit of fantasy and a good screwdriver :)

Hi Cristian,

I only learned GIMP and INKscape basics, my drawings simply miss that touch of `art', unlike yours.
I guess you are on Photoshop+Ilustrator tools, right?

I use a file to make grooves on BT white plugs (this forms a key), then I apply my missus' tweezers and a bit of hammering.

BTW I am short of CTL (=joystick) plugs, those with a latch on the other side, I used to buy them from Lincs Connections Ltd, ceased their business activity a while ago.

Hi,

The QL CTL Port plugs (BS6312 type 630W) are very rare to find, I have some that I was going to build CTL to Joystick adapters, probably do this in March.

The QL SER port plugs can be found on Ebay easier.


Regards,

Derek

Yes, you're right

Cool 8-) Fortunately I had no need to make modification since I have some suitable black plugs.

As Derek told, they are almost impossible to find :(
BTW, I'm not a 3D printer expert, but since they are exactly mirror-shaped it should be possible to 3D-print them copying the SER plugs...maybe
