That's why I was looking for the diameters and lengths of the pins. If you can 3D print the connector, you should be able to CNC the pins from copper stock and then electro-plate the tin to minimize the corrosion ... solder or crimp them in place ... for less than $1300!!!

Putting the correct force on the pins to minimize heating .. may be a bit trickier?
