It's the latest version of Cura. 4.8.0
you can see the support it builds on one view but some sort of messed up support on the other. Same model just rotated 180 degrees.

I use Slic3r

you could try setting the overhang threshold to zero. However you would think it would work either way!

here is a 4.3 case i made a while ago
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4566042
not 100% satisfied with the design but it does the job and im too lazy to fix it

i have some more car stuff on my profile

[gpineau]

I have 3 new NO2C board cases.
The board sits in the left side ad the connector exits our the right side.
Three cases for three connectors.
I made them public. You can search for them by name on tinkercad.
1. 35 pin automotive connector I have been messing with.
2. Two DB15 connectors
3. 50 Pin Centronics connector

Drill your own holes.

I was just looking at Dsub-15's myself. I've been trying to learn KiCad to see if I can make a breakout board for 404 board. ....... I may be some time.

I tried to design a board to go from NO2C to the 35 pin connector. I could get Kicad to rout because I didnt have the correct files to describe the 35 pin connector.

If you ever get fluent in Kicad pleas tutor me.

Trying to be constructive; it sounds like you tried to crimp a wire too large for the terminal size in the automotive connector, or crimped improperly/wrong tool. Or it was a cheap copy and failed like many fakes do. Could any of those be the root issue? Standardized automotive connectors should be 100% solutions with many types and styles to choose from.

The DA-15 isn't too bad as far as D-subs go, as the connection support is better for the number of pins, relative to similar D-sub connectors with more pins like the DB-25 or DC-37. Still (and you know what I'm going to say, but I'm saying it again), I can't count the number of issues I've dealt with directly due to the use of D-sub connectors.

They are not designed for vibrating installations, nor at high current, nor for the wire sizes we need to use (20AWG/0.5mm² minimum). Add to that the temptation of sellers or buyers to use cheap connectors from overseas (more failures) instead of the $10 panel-mount Amphenol waterproof versions, and you have headaches looking for a victim. On-top of that, they can be a real pain to use the screws or spring clips in tighter installations. Do what makes you giggle, but D-subs have taken a lot of the giggles out of things for me too often. IMO, spend your $10 on a connector system appropriate for those automotive factors above for best success.

Possibly, the manufacturer's website, may have a downloadable foot print.

YES!!! This is rule #1!

I'm having some success, but I don't know, what I don't know
