If we go with tentacle shield for ph/salinity the bnc probe holes will be determined that board

Right. I'll just have to wire an external connector to the connector on the Tentacle board. Should be easy enough cut one end off of a short cable and solder it to the inside of a panel mount connector. I have the connectors, and am planning for future expandability.

Designing for 3D printing certainly has a learning curve.

Issues that I have run into:
  • I made the text too small, so it didn't bond properly.
  • I then made it larger but ran into clearance issues w/ mounting the jacks.
So I made a few changes. I've switched from labeling the jacks with their names I went with numbering them. There are 10 jacks, so #10 is labeled "X" both for symmetry as well as clearance. "10" did not clear properly between the holes.

Hopefully, this is the last design before proper printing.
