A versatile parametric switch holder capable of being used as a switch tester or lubing station, with endless possibilities for creative applications. The latest version is available on GitHub at https://github.com/qwelyt/Parametric-switch-holder. ---- Update 2, 2019-08-25 ---- Support for ALPS switches has been added to the design. ---- Update 1, 2019-08-24 ---- The SCAD file has been updated with new default values to accommodate Kailh switches, and options have been added for legs and puzzle pieces. Legs: For those who prefer a minimalist approach when printing, a thinner case can be used in conjunction with legs that elevate the switch holder off the ground, ensuring the switches do not come into contact with the floor. Puzzle: Imagine creating an enormous switch holder without having access to a massive printer. The puzzle option allows for individual pieces to be printed and assembled together, providing flexibility in terms of design and functionality. Kailh: The updated default values now accommodate Kailh box switches, which previously presented difficulties due to their distinct side cuts compared to Cherry or Gateron switches. While still offering a snug fit, this update should provide adequate support for Kailh switches. ---- Original ---- Currently, the design only supports MX-switches, but plans are underway to add support for ALPS as well, pending acquisition of a suitable model. For use in a lubing station or switch tester, it is essential to maintain a minimum thickness of 9mm to prevent the legs from extending beyond the base. If the fit seems too tight or loose, users can navigate the "danger zone" and adjust the design accordingly. The option to display a visual representation of a switch can be selected to aid in determining the optimal fit. The original switch model was created by gcb and is available on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:421524
