Re: USB Type-C Print Head Connection

There are all sorts of connectors designed to a DIN standards of various sorts (used mostly in audio and video production I think originally )back in the 60s and 70s and I think that no one uses them any more. (well folks that restore that stuff I guess)
perhaps some of them might work?

Re: Building a Rostock Max V2 with a twist, help required.

Even if the RAMBO is still in place... checkout it out carefully for signs of overheating at the screw terminals and similar problems.... check all 3 fuses check the capacitors for discoloration or swelling... etc. Given the state of the rest of the machine I would not trust it to be fully functiona...
