Every time I turn on the computer, I have to bend down to reach the case under the desk. To protect my back, I printed an external switch that simulates a missile launch button. It's installed on a 5mm thick pegboard, making the startup process feel ceremonial!

The switch used is easy to buy online. It's an external switch in the form of a keyboard key, with a cable. When purchasing, pay attention to matching your motherboard's connector.

All parts are printed with PETG. If there are some errors in the holes of the base, you can fix them with a utility knife. The file includes a back plate and shims for adjustment, print as needed.

Using transparent PETG for the lid can achieve better transparency than PLA.

After cleaning the transparent parts, apply a bit of UV resin. After curing, both gloss and transparency will be significantly improved.

The hardware connecting the lid and the base are 2mm×12mm knurled pins (about 20+ can be bought for 2 yuan).

Welcome to discuss and share ideas.
