[Ender 3] Safe and Cheap Auto Power Off for V-156-1C25 SPDT Roller Lever Micro Switch

thingiverse

You're on the hunt for a reliable and budget-friendly way to shut down your printer after a successful print job? Look no further! I've got just the solution for you. It was designed specifically for the Ender 3, but other printers with similar designs should work seamlessly as well. That's exactly what Will said on their Thingiverse page: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3744808. I wanted to create this design too, but I had a different switch lying around, so I decided to give it a try. I ended up using the V-156-1C25 SPDT Roller Lever Micro Switch, which is why my standoff is slightly different from Will's original version. If you're interested in the schematics or more details, be sure to check out the original page for all the necessary information - and don't forget to give credit where credit is due. This stand is only compatible with the V-156-1C25 SPDT Roller Lever Micro Switch, so make sure you have that specific switch on hand before attempting to use this design. Quick note: I opted for M5 bolts since I'd already used up all the other bolts supplied with my printer for other modifications. These bolts are a bit longer than average (16 mm), which is why the floor of this stand is 9.7 mm high - that extra length needed some coverage!
