FlipGuard Desk Switch Housing a compact, protective enclosure designed to relocate your PC’s power button from the front of the case to your desk for easier access. The integrated flip-cover prevents accidental shutdowns, bumps, or curious pets from triggering the switch.
Inside, the housing accepts standard MX-style mechanical keyboard switch, allowing you to use it not only as a power button, but for any project that needs a momentary switch. Or if you just want something satisfying to click, it doubles as a desk-friendly fidget button.
This print is simple, functional, and adds a satisfying tactile element to your workspace.
Print settings:

For fun, I printed the lid without top and bottom layers, to create the honeycomb pattern.
