Big Emergency / Panic Button for MySensors / pimatic

thingiverse

Emergency Button This is a vital Emergency Button that I utilize with my HouseAutomation to control things and stuff. As a button itself, I employ a black Cherry MX switch that I had on hand. It functions nicely :). When it was printed, I thought a lower height would be beneficial, so I added a 15mm/piece version. The version in the video is 30mm/piece. To replicate my setup: You will need to acquire like me: all three printed parts A Cherry MX switch of your choice (I obtained mine from Conrad Germany) Arduino NRF24L01+ Radio some cables some M3 Screws (M3x30+ should suffice) For more information, visit: Software I use pimatic.org Hardware I use mysensors.org Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMr5voq1hkA I borrowed the idea for fixing the knob to the switch from ohagel. Thanks buddy; my creation did not work as anticipated ;). Update v2 I altered the plate thickness of the top part from 1mm to 1.5mm, which should enable the Cherry Switch to fit more snugly. Update v3 Using one cherry switch is excellent. But employing four cherry switches is even four times better. So I added a top and a knob that can accommodate four cherry switches. I built one, and it feels extremely good. Sadly yellow is empty, so mine is gray. Update v4 I have included CAD files. Please be kind; I am not proficient in this area. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0,15mm & 0,25mm Infill: 15% Notes: Printed on my Ultimaker2 and sliced with Simplify3D. Print "Knopf" with support, but remove possible support on the part that slides onto the cherry switch. My version is printed quickly and not of the best quality, since it should be a prototype. But it works, so who cares?
