Description

You love mechanical switches? Well I do too.

Its printed with no supports. You can call it torture test for your printer :P

I printed it on my Bambulab P1P/S with PLA+. Just make sure your Filament is calibrated :-).

If it doesnt work for you, just write me, I can help you make it work.

It doesn't work well on my A1 mini, and the buttons are connected internally and cannot be turned on. But I believe in creating Miracles with great power. So it can work now. I have often encountered similar troubles recently, such as buttons, knobs, and threads, which cannot work well after printing. What I can think of is reducing the layer height and printing speed. What other good methods can reduce the tolerance of parts?

The designer has replied

@I3Design

you really need to pull the lever hard to snap it free. On a big surface like this your filament really needs to be tuned in. On Bambu Studio you can go to Calibration and do it manually. Not only flow dynamics is important but in this case the flow rate itself. If your printer pushes more filament than needed, the surface will fuse together for sure. I can upload a version with more tolerance. But i must say on my P1P with manuel calibrated filament settings all 10 of those switches just worked fine.

@I3Design

sorry didnt see the picture.. your print actually looks perfect!! just try to pull the switch harder and maybe on the yellow marking you put something in and use it as a leverage in the other direction. it just needs to snap free once.

cool toy but it is a bit strong to switch

@I3Design

try lubricating the sliding surface with vaselin or just candle wax. really helps 🙂

printing issue, il print it again and see if it gets better bed was cleaned prior to this print starting

The designer has replied

@I3Design

from the walls on the first layer i can guarantee you that there is underextrusion. with the textured pei it should be almost impossible to see any lines. you could bump up your flow ratio very little. keep me updated

Printed really well with default BBL filament settings! Took a bit of force to flip it first, and then it worked perfectly.

The designer has replied

@I3Design

yea the initial flip is hard. for even smoother fliping put a little bit of wax or vaseline on the gliding sueface 😅

No joke about the amount of force to break it loose lol. I would rate it 5 stars but due to the design depending on how you hold it, it will catch the skin and pinch your hand. Maybe if it was recessed a bit instead of being flush? Idk, over all I love light switch type fidgets.
