There is also a useful list of switches with caps that fit. That post inspired me to revisit a method I hav...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/frank-milburn-s-blog/posts/custom-height-tactile-switch-with-3d-printed-capTue, 10 Sep 2019 15:42:10 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:998858a8-800b-41da-925c-e3d284f00512shabaz1<p>Hi Frank,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Very cool solution! I like using these 6x6 switches, but the lack of usable button caps has always been a pain.</p><p>I&#39;ve not seen these switches with that height before, but even with the shorter ones, they have the same large taper issue, i.e. if measured at the highest point, the shortest switch has the largest diameter, which makes it difficult to find universal button caps for them. This sort of thing is ideal to resolve with a 3D printer like you&#39;ve done.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7757&AppID=328&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/frank-milburn-s-blog/posts/custom-height-tactile-switch-with-3d-printed-capTue, 10 Sep 2019 14:11:27 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:998858a8-800b-41da-925c-e3d284f00512dubbie0<p>A good solution to a common problem. I must admit to not actually using switches at all, I just disconnection a wire for power on/off and never have human - machine interfaces. Mobile robots generally don&#39;t need them. For communications I use Bluetooth. But if I did use switches in a box then this would be a good approach for me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7757&AppID=328&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
