This is a inline filament switch that uses a ball bearing.
I just have not been happy with most designs out there, so I decided to create a reliable switch.
The switch is also Bi-Directional.
This model was created in Blender, so sorry I don't have a CAD file to share.
It incorporates cheap momentary switches, I got 20 on Amazon for $6
It also uses a 4.5mm ball bearing. 2 - 2mmx10mm screws.
You will also need 2 ECAS fittings as well.
I printed it with ABS simply because that's what I had loaded at the time, I am sure PLA/PETG would suffice just as well.
.2 Layer
20% infill
6 walls
This is just how I printed it, it is not a recommendation.
This is my first upload, comments are welcome and appreciated!
