Microswitch to leaf switch adapter

thingiverse

What do you do when you've got a leaf switch button but no leaf switch, a bunch of microswitches, and it's COVID-19 outside? You make your own microswitch to leaf switch adapter! This mounts with #6 x 1/2" screws. The mount/base needs to be screwed in place first, then the switch lever is clipped into position followed by the switch. It's crucial to handle assembly with care so you don't break anything. I've included a version that uses M3x16 and M3x20 screws and nuts if you have a ton of those around and want a more robust solution. I also added a screw plate that can be printed and glued on the side using good old cyanoacrylate, in case you have space on your panel for the extra width. I remixed Adapter ring for pinball button by 3dwkl from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2459864) to include a mount for a short 5mm LED that I'll use to light up my transparent blue button.
