bike frontlight switch housing

thingiverse

My brother wanted his bike front light to switch off when he was riding, so it wasn't always on. He needed a solution to control the light's power source, which was constant whether he was moving or stationary. A two-way switch provided the perfect answer. This component allowed him to turn the light on and off with ease. To install the switch, he used a cable cutter to trim the wires according to his needs. Next, he employed a hot glue gun to secure the switch firmly in place. Two small screws completed the job, holding everything together tightly. The 3D printed housing added an extra layer of protection for the switch and surrounding components. A snap mechanism allowed the two parts to fit together seamlessly, while rubber bands or similar materials could be used to seal any gaps and prevent water from entering the housing. To secure the switch to his bike's light fixture, my brother had three options available. He could use a tunnel and click the bottom over the metal holder of the light, provided it was the same type shown in the picture. Alternatively, he could utilize cable ties to attach the bottom part to the bike's structures. The third option involved using the bolt that held the light in place, with a small disc added to accommodate the bolt. My brother is confident that one of these options will work for him and his specific setup.
