Junction Boxinator for Paddle Switch

thingiverse

I bought this paddle switch, an Amazon-recommended junction box, and cord for my 1950's Craftsman table saw restoration project. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005W17FRS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008KNSX1W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OQVGP0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02 The paddle switch and power cord are fantastic, but the box was terrible. The switch didn't fit at all, and there's no good way to attach it to the table saw. So I thought I'd just design one up and print it myself. I'm including two versions of the box: one with mounting flanges and one without. This way you can remix it with whatever mounting flange your project needs. I used 1/2" strain reliefs from Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Halex-1-2-in-ACC-Non-Metallic-Strain-Relief-Cord-Connector-27693/202077093 There are two little slots where you insert the hex nuts that come with the paddle switch. Also, there's some sacrificial bridging under the screw holes that you need to clear out with a small drill bit. (P.S. Please excuse my messy garage)
