What if he 3D-prints this with a solid block where the two legs (paddles) are and then files down a channel just the right size for the switch? (I guess he may as well just try using epoxy!) | |
| Jun 16, 2023 at 18:26 | comment | added | Tristan | That's a shape that is not going to lend itself well to 3d printing if you want any durability -- those legs that move the switch are going to be prone to snap off | |
