Micro Switch Dummy With Triggered State Dimension

thingiverse

I designed this part with precision in mind, making it ideal for use as a reference when working on projects that require exact measurements, such as 3D printing. These models and dimensions will be useful in the future as I used this technique to achieve good precision on my Neo-Tantillus's z-endstop, as well as working on a model with limited space like Neo-Tantillus where we don't know if these micro switches will get triggered or not. DWG and PDF files are included along with two 3D models, one for each switch type. These files are meant for modeling purposes only, not for 3D printing, as they require precision. I used a caliper to measure the triggered distance shown in the PDF, which is a rough reference for the distance at which these switches will be triggered. If you use this data for your precision designs, I highly recommend offsetting the triggered distance by about 0.5-1.0mm to ensure extra safe space. For example, the triggered distance for the 3A250VAC switch is 13.25mm, so it's a good practice to offset it to roughly between 12.75-12.00mm, giving you some margin for error. This means making the switch stand out slightly rather than sinking more deeply. It can be tricky to explain offsetting, but I hope this helps clarify things.
