1. A method for fabricating one or more printed electrical interconnections through an additive manufacturing process, the method comprising:
forming a portion of a chassis component of a drill string through the additive manufacturing process;
forming the one or more printed electrical interconnections proximate to the chassis component through the additive manufacturing process, the one or more printed electrical interconnections configured to communicatively connect with at least one electronic component, the chassis component configured to receive the at least one electronic component; and
positioning at least one electrical connector proximate to a terminated portion of the one or more printed electrical interconnections,
wherein the at least one electrical connector is configured to provide an electrical connection between a respective printed electrical interconnection of the one or more printed electrical interconnections and a corresponding contact of the at least one electronic component, and
wherein the at least one electrical connector comprises at least one of a compression mount connector or a pogo pin.
