Samsung TV accidental button push prevention

cults3d

This is a little contraption that makes it much harder to accidentally push the extremely sensitive power button on a particular model of Samsung TV (the UE46C6700). We use one of these in the office as an oversized computer monitor during scrum sessions, and people kept on bumping against the power button while using the mouse. This print makes it much less likely that the button will be accidentally touched, an accurate finger poke is required to turn off the TV. I had printed a first prototype of this in flexible PLA, but it triggered the button when touching any part of the print. I modified the model to be more open and printed it in ABS instead, and this print does not have that problem. I'm not sure whether the shape of the model caused the problem, or the flexible PLA is actually conductive at the high-frequency electromagnetic field that is used by the touch buttons, but this second model does the job perfectly.
