It took 3 attempts with Tinkercad to get a successful switch for my 98/99 NBA. Many thanks to CheesyTech for the original 2201805 .STL. I had to do some updating to:
- shorten the tower with the switch legs on it
- add front and back edge lips
- make the correct sized hole for the spring loaded plunger
- add the internal 2.8 mm dia blind holes for the existing hinge points to fit into
Getting the old switch toggle out was rather simple - once I knew how!! Just a matter of pushing it / knocking it out from the bottom of the switch assembly. The switch toggle is held in the housing by 2 small plastic 'tits' that it toggles on. I initially drilled the holes for these but it was only when I did the 2 x 2.8mm blind holes in Tinkercad that it all worked properly.
26/11/22 Update: I initially printed in PLA+ and it didn't last a day in the hot Australian summer without softening and being unusable. (glass transition temp is 60-65C)
So I then reprinted with some PETG I'd never u
