Description

Now available- make your own version of my popular aerospace style switch!  Text is editable in Bambu Studio including the title-

and top and bottom lettering (immediately above and below the toggle).

There's even an option for two lines of text on the Title (see plate 4)-

Note-

Sometimes when changing the text, the built in tool shifts the text to the left or right (notice how the X coordinate in Object coordinates is slightly off “0” after the change to the text-

If this happens, just change this back to 0 and all should be well-

The chosen font (Arial Rounded MT Bold) seems to print the best and matches the aesthetic of aerospace switches, but feel free to change it up and let me know what works and doesn't work!

 

I took heavy inspiration from images of some space shuttle/NASA style switches I found online and added the custom lettering.  Also designed a printable toggle switch that snaps into one of two positions and screws into the rear of the main panel using a printable hex nut.

 

Requires the following hardware for assembly of the face plate onto the main body-

  • Qty 2: 4x16mm Phillips/hex button head machine screws
  • Qty 2: 4mm hex nuts

Or you can just glue the front panel on, there are alignment pins/detents on the faceplate to hold it relative to the main body.  See attached assembly guide for putting things together if you get stuck!
