Bibo2 Touch Front Switch mount

thingiverse

I got tired of constantly having to reach around the printer to turn it off then back on again after each print finished, just to set the temps and get the hot ends to heat up for the next print. So, I installed a switch within easy reach. This switch was designed specifically for a "Carlingswitch LRA911-RS-B/120N Lighted Rocker Switch" that I found for $0.99 including shipping on eBay. I didn't want it to light up, so I wired it just for the switch itself without the light. This setup also works seamlessly with my Bibo2 feet, which you can find on Thingiverse under thing #2415596. Since the switch doesn't have any markings to indicate when it's on or off, I used a permanent marker to draw a black line right next to the "ON" side of the switch. I did have to replace the blade connector on the wire going to the power supply because the one that was already attached wouldn't fit - it was designed for a smaller blade than what's on this new switch. The old connector actually fell off in my hand anyway, so I had no choice but to replace it.
