I was unhappy with the different Kailh style switch openers that are available and wanted one similar to the classic cheap metal MX style opener i already own.
Took the measurements to around 1/10 of a mm, rounded it a bit and reworked it in BricsCAD. (The groves for the fingers were a pain but nice training.)
THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS!
It works good, but there are slight issues i will need to rework:
* The large teeth that open the switch are a bit too high and do not let the switch properly "snap" in on both sides, only one will snap in place.
* The angle of the teeth might be bit too steep and need a little more force than desired.
Both of these can easily be fixed by grinding of a bit of the top of the large teeth and slightly grinding of the curve to be steeper.
