Part 1 Video Assembly Instructions: https://youtu.be/HxwEmIUqQ7w?si=xajbAuSA-TxbAlxz\n\n\n## What's in this Repo?\n\nThis repo contains information about the project, CAD files for two versions of the project, and information about a supplier version of the cable. \n\n### Glossary\nTo reference our technical terminology check out [glossary.md](https://github.com/BusKill/usb-a-magnetic-breakaway/blob/3cc552533db1436cacee31b77e96ae590389fd92/Glossary.md)\n\n### goldfishlaser Version\n\nThis directory contains files for a version built in OpenSCAD by goldfishlaser. It contains documented 3D print files (SCAD and STL), Bill of Materials, and more. See issue#2 for more details.\n\n![goldfishlaser Version](https://crashxblossom.files.wordpress.com/2023/11/layout2-1.jpg)\n\nPart 1 Video Assembly Instructions: https://youtu.be/HxwEmIUqQ7w?si=xajbAuSA-TxbAlxz\nPrototype Assembly Instructions: https://crashxblossom.wordpress.com/2023/07/04/exciting-milestone-in-buskill-usb-a-magnetic-release-open-hardware-project/\n\n#### CAD Files\n\nDirectory contains CAD files for the magnetic breakway case if you want to edit the files. *(in development)*\n\n#### Print files\n\nDirectory contains 3D print files for the magnetic breakaway case. *(in development)*\n\n#### Engineering drawings\n\nDirectory contains engineering drawings for the magnets which you can provide to a manufacturer for the purpose of ordering the magnets for the magnetic breakway.\n\n#### Magnet_and_PP_Vendor_List.ods\n\nFile contains a list of manufacturers that sell magnets, pogo pins, and pogo receptors. \n\n### Leoheck CAD files\n(3D printable case, Work In Progress)\nThis directory contains files are for a version built in FreeCAD by leoheck.  This version uses Yoosoo spring pressure pogo pins,uses aluminium can for pin contacts, and has pressfit voids for cube magnets. This version contains a female USB port. See issue#2 for more details.\n\n![image](https://github.com/BusKill/usb-a-magnetic-breakaway/assets/597904/fe949841-c8f3-4abd-87c7-8e0b29d4b1c3)\n\n## Supplier Version\n\n![image of supplier version](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/597904/236636199-2c18498c-78d3-463a-81e8-185a83240824.png)\n\nPlease see https://github.com/BusKill/usb-a-magnetic-breakaway/issues/4 for history on the development of the Supplier Version. \n\n### digitalAssets\n\nDigital assets relating to supplier version of the BusKill breakaway\n\n### supplier\n\nOther assets relating to the supplier version of the BusKill breakaway\n\n## Contributing\n\nPlease see [Contributing to BusKill](https://docs.buskill.in/buskill-app/en/stable/contributing.html) to learn how you can help the BusKill project.\n\n## Attribution\n\nThank you to the countless individuals and other open-source projects that have contributed to to the BusKill project!\n\n## Press\n\nAs seen on PCMag, Forbes, ZDNet, \u0026 Tom's Hardware.\n\n## Contact\n\nTo contact us via email, please visit:\n\n    https://www.buskill.in/contact/\n\n## License\n\nThe contents of this repo are dual-licensed.
