How I Designed and Printed a Custom Light Switch Plate with Key Racks: I designed my custom light switch plate with key racks in CURA by following these steps. 1. First, I turned off the enable retraction option to ensure smooth printing. 2. Next, I set the fill density to 100% for optimal print quality. 3. Then, I adjusted the print speed to 45 mm/s for a balance between speed and detail. 4. Finally, I set the print temperature to 180°C for optimal PLA performance. My RepRap printer from Athena Printer is my trusted printing companion. I use high-quality PLA red filament with a diameter of 1.75mm (although its actual diameter is 1.94 mm). Here's how I created this custom design: I downloaded the bird image from https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ae/04/71/ae0471d53045c767e89caaee65ae0d2f.jpg. To convert the 2D cat image into a path that openSCAD can use, I employed Inkscape's powerful capabilities. I used openSCAD to design my custom light switch plate with key racks. After opening the cat.SCAD file in openSCAD, I copied all the code and pasted it into my light switch plate with Key Racks design. Using Inkscape again, I converted another 2D image into a path that openSCAD could utilize. However, I encountered a problem while installing the necessary software. Since my laptop is a Mac, I had to download the Inkscape software from https://inkscape.org/en/learn/books/. To use the OpenSCAD converter function in Inkscape, I needed to add two specific files to the Inkscape extension folder. These files can be downloaded from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25036. Unfortunately, these files are hidden on my Mac, so I had to use Terminal to locate them and then move them to the Inkscape folder using the following commands: mv paths2openscad.py ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/ mv paths2openscad.inx ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/ I hope this helps you design and print your own custom light switch plate with key racks!
