Kailh PCB Socket Holder

thingiverse

I am planning to create a holder for Kailh PCB sockets that enable hot-swapping of switches on mechanical keyboards. The intention is to hand-wire these sockets and provide support to prevent damage when pulling or inserting a switch. This file is designed to be used in conjunction with a 3D printed case, which will require incorporation into your design for functionality. To insert the sockets, you need to rock them into place, but they become stable once inserted. Due to the way the holder forms around the socket, it's essential to insert the sockets before wiring. This might necessitate modifications depending on your case design. Included are the Fusion360 design files to facilitate changes, and I would appreciate it if you could link back to this project so I can see your modifications.
