Kailh PCB Socket Holder

thingiverse

This is a general holder for the <a href="https://novelkeys.xyz/collections/miscellaneous/products/kailh-pcb-sockets">Kailh PCB sockets</a> that allow hot-swapping of switches for mechanical keyboards. I am planning on hand wiring these in and needed some way to support the sockets so that they don't break the wiring when pulling or inserting a switch. This file is intended to be used with a 3D printed case of some kind, this will need to be incorporated into your design in order to function. The sockets need to be rocked into the slot, but are pretty stable once inserted. Because of the way the holder forms around the socket, **the sockets will need to be inserted before wiring**. This may require a modification depending on how you design your case. Included in the files it the Fusion360 design file to make changes easy, just link back to this thing if you can so I can see what you come up with.
