Side Skirt Power Switch
A mount for the GSW-42 rocker switch in the skirt element to allow easy access to a power switch without reaching behind the printer and trying to find it by touch.
Can be substituted with GSW-41 if you don't want it to glow red when turned on.
Parts Required
- (1) GSW-42 illuminated rocker switch
- Some mains wire
- Spade crimp connectors
- Butt crimp connectors
Printing
- Print as is for the "a" skirt (rear left/front right) or mirror the part to get the "b" variant.
Installation
- Remove existing skirt element.
- Attach the new skirt element re-using the same M3x8 screw.
- Prepare the wires to your liking (unplug from existing switch or splice into existing wiring). You will need 3 wires: line, load, neutral.
- Fish the wires through the hole.
- Connect the switch. The GSW-42 switch is connected like so: pin 1 goes to line (plug), pin 2 goes to load (power supply), pin 3 (brass pin) is connected to neutral.
- Snap the switch into the hole.
- Enjoy easy access to the power switch.
