DECORATIVE ACCESSABILITY LIGHT SWITCH COVER

ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more surface area to operate the switch, making it easier for anyone to find and operate the light switch, even in the dark.

The base files are 100% original, designed by me, by hand, in blender, with a few trials and errors.

All needed files are on this page. including, 1 blank Face, and 1  original texture, "wrinkled". which i added using bumpmesh.com 

I have an additional 16 face variants with AI generated textures, all are labeled as "AI TEXTURE" My personal favorite texture is "SLATE" and is what i printed and photographed.

Fits a standard "toggle" style "single-pole switch" found in most US houses, possible others.

The "WITH SUPPORT" models should print as is, with the built in support and ears, if you feel the need, you can add a brim, but nothing should need to be changed. Should print in any material, with whatever settings you normally print that material with. 

NOTE - I included file versions that do not include built in supports, incase someone needs them, but otherwise i would only use the "WITH SUPPORTS" version.

HARDWARE NEEDED 
      1x Original light switch cover (optional)
      2x Original LIGHTSWITCH screws
      1x-3x - M3x10mm-20mm

TOOLS NEEDED
      Screwdriver that matches your light switch screws
      M3 Allen wrench

INSRUCTIONS

1 - Using a 0.4mm nozzle, print a FRAME, FLIPPER, and the FACE of your choice.

     NOTE 1 - You can add custom textures to the FACE using bumpmesh.com, and add custom text to the           TAGS using 3DBuilder. Both of these tools are free.

     NOTE 2 - SPACER and TAGS are optional

     NOTE 3 - TAGS can be printed with color changes to make the text stand out from the background.

2 - Remove the original light switch faceplate/cover if there is one, if you need one you can print and use the SPACER, then attach/reattach which ever you choose, and the FRAME, together on the wall with the original screws.

3 - With the light switch pointing down (or to the thick part of the FRAME ), insert the FLIPPER into the middle groove, with the switch in the middle of the hole in the FLIPPER.

4 - Slide on the FACE, and insert an M3 x10+mm screw and screw the FACE, to the FLIPPER

       NOTE - Only the top screw is technically needed, but just incase there are 2 side screw holes that can be used as stoppers to prevent overtravel.

      NOTE 2 - No exact screw length is needed, they just have to be "long enough", but not "too long". there is at least 10mm of free space to allow for use of nearly any length screw that people might have.

5 - Insert the tag of your choice ( or dont) use glue, ( or dont)

6 - have fun flipping your light on and off a bunch with its satisfying click.

RECCOMENDED - file and/or sand down the edges of the FRAME to reduce/eliminate the layer lines for a smother slide during use, Sanding the inside of the FACE is not worth the effort in my opinion.
