Supports are not required, but a brim will help when printing the pegs. I do not recommend using a brim on the springs as it's difficult to remove and any brim remnants will interfere with the action of the switch.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><h4>What to Print</h4><figure class="table"><table style="border:1px double rgb(179, 179, 179);"><thead><tr><th style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;"><strong>Part</strong></th><th style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;"><strong>Qty</strong></th><th style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;"><strong>Notes</strong></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">Body</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">2</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">There's two options: smooth or grip; print two of the same option</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">Peg</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">2</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">A brim helps here!</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">Spring</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">2</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">Don't use a brim on these!</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">Toggle</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">1</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">Slider</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">1</td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);padding:0.4em;">A lower layer height is preferred here: 0.16mm or 0.12mm</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><h4>Assembly</h4><p style="margin-left:0px;">The last 7 photos demonstrate the assembly process.</p><ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>Test your prints: Place the slider between the two body halves and verify the slider can slide freely. Then, place a peg in the toggle and verify the toggle can rotate freely.</li><li>Insert both pegs into one side of the body. These will be extremely tight (that's intentional!!!). If the pegs absolutely won't fit, you might need to reprint them with the X and Y scale reduced by 0.2 to 0.4% (99.8 to 99.6%).</li><li>Place the springs into the slider and check the orientation: the "arms" of the springs should point towards each other, and the "bump" on the slider should point towards the arms.</li><li>Move the slider towards the rounded ends of the springs and carefully press the springs into the body half from step 2. The springs should be parallel with the bottom of the body.</li><li>Move the slider away from the rounded ends and slip the toggle on the peg. Use a finger to separate the springs for easy placement.</li><li>Check the motion of the slider and the toggle. If everything looks good, place the other half of the body on top and press the two body halves together. Be sure the springs are properly aligned into their respective slots.</li><li>You're done! Flick away!</li></ol><h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4>Protips</h4><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>This switch is not designed to be disassembled, so good luck with that.</li><li>A drop of lube between the toggle and the peg works great depending on your filament(s).</li><li>A small amount of beeswax applied to the outside of the springs helps if you find the slider difficult to move. <i>But</i>, the slider may shift during some intense switch flipping.</li><li>The pegs require some force to properly insert, but they have to hold the switch together. No other part (e.g. the springs) should require any significant force.</li><li>If you're rocking an AMS, use "Others &gt; Print sequence &gt; By object" to quickly print all parts on one build plate while using different filaments!</li></ul><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">If you print one of these switches, please post a make: I love seeing all of your creative color combinations!</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p>This is a re-upload of the model made by <a href="https://makerworld.com/en/@kriswillcode"><span style="color:hsl(240,75%,60%);"><strong>kriswillcode</strong></span></a><span style="color:hsl(240,75%,60%);"><strong> </strong></span>➡ <a href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/66670#profileId-70512">https://makerworld.com/en/models/66670#profileId-70512</a>.
