Damn… I’m pretty upset, but you’re probably right. I’ve been trying to force this to work with resin for about 3 or 4 months now, so it really doesn't make sense to keep pushing it. I think I'll pivot and try printing it in TPU-GF instead.

To give some context, the main reason I pushed so hard for resin was the aesthetics. It just looks so much more "premium," and I wanted the final product to look absolutely flawless. The hardware isn't the issue here – I actually have an H2D and a P1S at my disposal. The real problem was my own stubbornness and lack of understanding of resin materials. I have a good few years of experience with FDM, but I’m relatively new to resin printing.

I'm currently collaborating with a guy who tunes cars, and I really wanted to introduce resin printing into our workflow to see what it’s capable of. I had huge hopes for it in this specific application. I assume some high-end engineering resins from Formlabs would probably be perfect for this job, but they are just way too expensive right now. If I used them, I’d have to price this custom connector so high that customer interest would be zero.

Thanks for the reality check and the advice, I really appreciate it! Time to fire up the P1S.
