You'll be in full production by the end of the week right?
Wellll, the Altium license is non-commercial so I don't know if I can produce and sell the devices, does anyone know?

For whatever reason, DB connectors are always a purchasing nightmare, especially with high pincounts (25,37). For something that purports to be a standard, there sure are a lot of variations. If you intend to support this design long term, assume that the specific part number you order today won't be available tomorrow. With that in mind, leave a little extra room to fit the replacement part. It looks like your design has plenty, but keep it in mind if you make a housing.
Eric, will you be at champs? If not, I can probably mail you one, or I can just send you the gerbers or the altium project if that is easier for you. I do intend to eventually have this be something many teams can use year to year, once I figure out licensing and a supplier. (Anybody interested?) In terms of letting Altium know I'm making use of the donation, would I do that at champs, or should I email someone?
