The on/off switch for the Lenovo Ideacentre (IdeaCentre AIO 3 27IMB05) is in the back behind the display and difficult to operate, because normally you cannot see it.
You can switch on the PC with your keyboard, but this is not reliable for every wireless keyboard.
Also when you have to force-shutdown your PC you need to operate (press and hold) this switch.
So I designed an extension that also shows the indicator light that is integrated in the on/off switch. This is done via a light conductor being a simple piece of 4 mm clear pvc solid tube that I had available in my workshop. If you do not have this you can use a bundle of fishing line. Force it in, and then cut the parts sticking out.
Mounting is done with a standard M3 X 10 fastener. Drill carefully a 2.5 mm hole in the plastic housing and tap a M3 thread. Alternatively use a self tapping screw. Be careful with drilling, don't damage the pc-board behind the casing!
In the drawings you can see the details.
I used PLA and PETG for printing both works, PETG is a bit more flexible.
