Mechanical Light Switch

myminifactory

My family was blessed with a unique mechanical light switch at some point, and when I left for college, I missed playing with it intensely. So, I decided to 3D print one of those Frankenstein light switches and displayed it on my wall in my room for a while. However, I thought it was time to upgrade so I remodeled the one from my family's house. As you can see, I only had blue filament and some leftover white at the time. I also added a handle to the final model. Also, my new apartment doesn't have lever light switches anymore, which is why this picture shows just the switch on my wall. Almost everything in this design can be attached using 1.75 mm filament. I used a method I learned previously where you cut a piece of filament, stick it in like a hinge, and melt both ends of the filament, flattening it in the process, turning it into a permanent mount. It works great and I highly recommend it for any project you undertake. The two Switch Slide Channels I used Krazy Glue to secure. Lastly, this replaces the current light switch panel you have but utilizes the screws. Print everything once except: Spacer (qty. 2) Switch Slide Channel (qty. 2) Button (qty. 2) (optional: they cover the view of the screws but not necessary) Let me know if something doesn't work and I will try to fix it.
