Foot switch topper for guitar effect pedals

thingiverse

If you play electric guitars and use effect pedals, you may know the problem: pushing the switches on stage with your shoes on is fine. However, pushing them at home playing without shoes on ... well ... hurts. There are foot switch toppers around to buy or print. I downloaded and printed one, but it did not fit at all and the top seemed very large. For this reason I have designed and printed my own ones. This part is no big deal due to the simple geometry. Also, I saw no reason to make it fancy and "good-looking". The toppers are close to the floor and you step on them with your feet, anyhow, so I found it is enough for them to be functional. But maybe you find them useful to protect your feet as well. :-) A final remark on the files: one of the files contains a 0.5 mm deep pocket on the top. You may use this to play around with two-colored prints. I filled the pocket with support structure, giving the top a slightly different look. EDIT 2023/10/23: I slightly decreased the height (1 mm), because I found one switch where it was a tiny bit too large.
