Description

PDF

This is a parametric missile style switch cover to protect against accidental presses. Can be mounted to a surface using double sided tape. I have included a link to the Onshape document, a Solidworks file (untested, don't have a personal Solidworks license), and a STEP file for a 31x25mm switch. 

In PrusaSlicer, right click the part, split→to objects. The orientation should be correct, with the cover standing up on its flat base. I recommend using a brim for the cover, and no brim for the hinge. Right click→Add settingsSkirt and brim to change brim settings for only one object. 

To customize the document in Onshape, just make a copy of the part and change the variables at the top of the feature tree. Account required.

I don't know if the exported sldprt will retain this functionality, let me know if you try it.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Remade Extrutim's power switch in Onshape so I could do custom sized covers for whatever switch I wanted. Custom switch width, height, and depth, custom screw hole, and custom hinge thickness for thinner hinge for tight spaces or thicker hinge for strength.
