Apollo Style Switch Guard, Infinitely Scalable

For the cheap 6mm Switches

Quick instruction
=============
Print the Plate you need, make your own length if needed.
Print the Bending Jig
Bend something fitting into shape. Works for 2.85mm filament or anything similar sized like 6mm² and 10AWG wire
Put together/possibly drill out holes to fit, glue, done


There's no limit to the amount of Switches you can put into a row. You will just have to put them together, all files needed are supplied. I used MIcrosoft's 3D builder


Due to the nature of FDM printing I decided to not print the guard rails, but to bend them out of PLA.
I have some 2.85mm filament from another printer than I bent using the Bending Jig supplied in the files.
The holes are a technically the right size but my calibration isn't 100% correct so i quickly drilled them out with a dremel tool.
Glued the pieces in place and gave them a quick coat of Paint.

The small switches fit perfectly, the hole in the Plate making sure they won't turn once inserte
