Hi everyone,
I'm building a prototype that uses a power supply which is divided into 4 separate 24V supplies.
They do not share a common ground. I shorted all of their grounds, but it's really messy with lots wires running all over the device.
In order to keep everything tidy I printed a part to short the grounds straight out of the gate.
I used SLA resin which is pretty non-conductive, but should I be worried about static build up? If so, how do I check it?
Also, is there anything else I should have taken into account?

Thanks.
 
If it's tied to ground, what do you care if the plastic itself is prone to static build-up? You're going to immediately short and surface current to ground!
