Frankinsteine Switch

thingiverse

An OpenSCAD version of the classic Frankenstein Switch is designed for a UK-style rocker switch. This cover gives the appearance of an old "blade switch" often seen with sparks flying from it in horror movies. Most switches found online are for American toggle switches, which are big and different from the slimmer, smaller rocker style UK switches. Fitting requires removing two standard screws that hold the wall plate (the switch) in place. This does not involve removing the switch cover or messing with any of the electrics, but if you're not comfortable removing the mounting screws, get someone who is to do the job for you. In addition to printed parts, you'll need: * One 120mmx10mm metal or wooden rod or tube (8-10mm will work too). This version is designed for B&Q's Varnished Cold-pressed steel Round tube (H)1mm (W)10mm (L)1m. * Four M4 cheese head Allen screws & Nuts. Use B&Q's M4 Cylindrical set screw & nut (L) 16mm, Pack of 20. * Epoxy glue. Super glue sets too quickly for detail adjustments to be made. * A screwdriver and an Allen key.
