Uh-oh. Well, that immediately tells me that the total price will be in the human organ territory, and since I am a broke student (who would really like to keep his kidneys intact, thank you very much), that probably won't work. Especially when I am only interested in making personal prototypes (probably just one 😆), and I am definitely not planning to sell hardware anytime soon.

The connectors are available on aliexpress/digikey etc and require very little modification. Just the angled sides need squaring off and are around 1 USD each on aliexpress or around 6usd on digikey
