Safety Rocker Power Switch Key

thingiverse

I'm constantly misplacing these annoying keys, which is pretty bizarre considering I hardly ever remove them from the machine. You can easily find something similar on Amazon for a steal (2 for $12). But that's exactly why I bought a 3D printer in the first place. This project could definitely benefit from a few adjustments. I think the key ends need to be slightly beveled to make sliding them into place easier, and maybe a friction notch along the length of the key would also help. I gave it a try on my Bosch router table and Porter Cable drill press, and it worked like a charm both times. However, it failed miserably on my Kobalt table saw - but I suspect that was due to not having the end properly beveled.
