Command Sender Taste Command Device Combination And another lesson, "Learn from history." UPDATE: The following combination creates a new thing: The button pusher skirt thing can be used with the cap (all alone) or the cap with mounting screws taken from my thing --> Physical Button Mechanist Style 2. A tiny modification allows using of small SMD switches (momentary push buttons) - Stack both parts up. - Adjust the length of the button pusher when needed. I did not make this particular build; I don't have those SMD parts at home. See the picture taken from the drawing board: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3988527 Thanks for your patience. The saying: When quality had a name EAW Electro Apparate Werke Berlin (GDR) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-1987-0203-323,_Berlin,_EAW_Treptow,_Hauptgeb%C3%A4ude.jpg. The switch has two contact pairs. It is fully user configurable. The position of the contact plates can be reversed individually. The only required tool is a pusher that moves the fixing pins with split tips. Those push pins can be found 30 years later on Intel CPU retainers. Why purchase four different switches when a single type can serve all use cases? An electrician can choose the configuration in the field at any time he wants. This simple example gives you an idea of how we managed tight resources without wasting labor, effort, material, energy, or stock space. Ha ha. UPDATE: Good results achieved. Ready for the next stage - put some backlight behind the translucent DIY pusher part. Tomorrow! - Uploaded pusher part V3 with a wider hole on the spring. - Uploaded the simplified skirt part V4 for use with M3 screws, no inserts. The real thing has brass inserts holding the screws coming from the metal frame. I have ignored them at this time. The skirt has a small notch. This notch adjusts the skirt with the 30.6mm mount hole on the top of the case or a front plate. I have simplified the design. The designers had many configurations in mind when laying out all the parts that make a switch assembly. Model of the pusher cap and the skirt part used on an On/Off switch combination cast aluminum IP40 case The case with two momentary switches made more than 40 years ago in the GDR (do not call it East Germany, please) works still perfectly fine. Almost built from all metal. It has thick copper contacts, steel springs, just old-style quality made products. They were made to last long. Same with consumer-grade products made in the GDR (often rebranded sold by West Germany companies on the cheap). Some at the given time called "High-Tech products" (Radio, TV-set, washing machine, kitchen appliances,...) were obligated to last at least 11 years. Obligated by law, not the stupidly short period of six months' warranty as we have often nowadays. In real life, these products would still work if you replaced parts easily. Watch these instructional videos on YouTube: "Maintaining a 50-year-old kitchen aid mixer RG-25" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BIYmUOyiAM Even low-tech old tools made from carbon steel (no V2A, Chrom Vanadium) do a perfect job when I make my own threads on bolts and nuts. Providing tight tolerances, the nut fits the bolt perfectly. The thread meets the requirements as they did 40 years ago. No wiggle, no much play. People read this, obligated by German Democratic Republic law, intended to last long. This law served the people well. We didn't feed some greedy businesspeople and private factory owners. Some people are telling lies till today when say say there was everything bad. Bullshit. Fuck them! This was not the crap they are selling today covered by short-time warranties as per FRG and European Union law. Just in case someone needs a replacement, but this is very unlikely, very solid product. But who knows? Never say never. Changes made: On the original, the holes were made for 3.5mm screws. Unlikely to have those in the regular hardware store. Now it fits 3mm plastic screw.
