Lion head light switch

thingiverse

I have designed this item to make the simple and boring task of turning the lights on interesting and fun! I designed the turning knob after a Victorian style lion head door knocker and furthered the Victorian influence by making a twisted wrought iron effect of the support pieces and the key holders. If you want to print this model I suggest using 50% infill and low density supports with no scaling. For quality use the best quality your printer will do as this will make the complex lion head look better. If you are printing in ABS and have trouble with curling of edges as I sometimes do, try raising it slightly off the print bed and putting supports there to fix that. I will probably update this at some point soon so if you want to print this out please go to the tinkercad page at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/ko2FZMmlRQW-lion-head-light-switch-disassembled/editv2?sharecode=3d9n2sZw6N2mLKKHOyBlX-zKRWogHUOSa4EXdoEvXrU= {Parts list} 10 3mm bolts to attach gears in place and 2 screws to attach to wall. This is an entry to the remix competition so I hope you all like it and thanks to asbeg for the inspiration for this project, this is a remix of their brilliant light switch cover and key holder! {update} Added 4mm mounting holes to screw to a wall. {update} Fixed gearing system so the two racks now move in synchrony. In response to mb20music, thanks for your input, I have now fixed all of the issues with gearing and mounting. Thanks for your help! Have Fun!
