Is the RightTop-v122 correct? #1

Specifically where the on off switch would rest. To me it seems like there is no opening in the top of the holder. Even when deleting the face there is a small chunk that blocks most of the space in the holder.

Is this a mistake?

Hello @Icebluewolf,
By "on off switch" do you mean the blue "Armed button" on the photo?
This is the righttop-v122.stl file that holds the buttons, on this photo the second opening from the right is for the blue button.

Yes that is what I am talking about.
The 2 slots on the bottom of the opening are for the pins of the switch (I assume). I was noticing that they do not have access to the top of the box. There is a thin layer that prevents this. In my 3D software I removed this layer only to find a shape inside the box that continues to block most access to the slots.

Am I mistaken the purpose of the slots?

The Thin layer

After deleting the layer there is still blockage to the slots

You can see there is an object that looks like it might be leftover from when you were sizing up the switch or something.

Ah, yes, now I understand what you mean. Yes, there is a thin layer, it is intentional. It is a single sacrificial layer, so you can print the part upside down without support. After printing you can easily remove that thin layer with a knife or screwdriver before inserting the switch. Does that make sense this way? I should have probably mention that in the description.

Ah, ok thank you.

Also,
I love the design. I have been modifying a few of the parts to fit keyboard switches. Instead of the switches you used. I will be sure to show you the result.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it. Yes, after creating my device I also recognized that tactile microswitches are actually not really convenient to use, and keyboard switches would be much better. I'd be happy to try your remix.
