3D Printed Fully Compliant Switch

[@musikk67]

Is it my PC or is there no sound? I was so excited to experience the satisfying click that's inherent to such devices

[@The_J485]

Doubt it makes one, there's no things impacting each other.

@@The_J485 Just 3D printed one and there is a little, very quiet, sound but its satisfying nature mostly derives from how the movement feels.

so nice of you to publish the files

where and who to contact to help in the design of a product based on a compliant mechanism idea?

[@MKHideOut]

Id be interested in making a machine to test the longevity of these switches for real application use. After 100, 1000, 10000 on / offs, lets see how it holds up? If you send me one, Ill build a rig for it and test it!

The STL is linked in the description. Anybody can print it.

[@princekeoki4603]

Depends entirely on the material printed, with my brown atomic pla @ 190c, only lasted around 20 switches. The linkages were not flexible enough and ended up snapping

I printed a couple of them in Onyx (Nylon + Carbon composite) using a Markforge Mark 2 printer. And I had my test prints fail at around 250 clicks I'm wondering if other people had better luck with durability using PLA

Very clever, ty
