meepo remote toggle -for V2 remote only.

thingiverse

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE PRINTING!: This toggle is designed as a replacement/upgrade part for the version 2 meepo remote only, it will not fit the V1 remote. How to tell the difference: V1 remote - only has a 2 position speed switch (fast and slow), the reverse button sits proud of the housing. V2 remote - has a 3 position speed switch (low, medium and high), the reverse button is flush with the casing. This was designed to be printed in ABS but PLA should work fine, the dowel is slightly oversized on purpose so it still fits tightly when acetone welded so it will require touching up with a file/abrasive paper. for PLA you will have to use cyno or some other adhesive of your choice. Through the design phase i made numerous attempts to get this to print correctly witha good finish in one piece but unfortunately the prints either failed or gave an unsatisfactory finish so I made a compromise and decided to print in 3 separate sections which worked perfectly (albeit at the cost of having to weld/glue parts together) Print instructions: print at 0.1-0.2mm layer height with supports and 100% infill. If printing in ABS you may need to add 1-2% scale increase to account for shrinkage but this is completely dependent on your print temperature and the filament you are using. fitment instructions: sand/file the dowel and mating holes in the knob and toggle until all three fit together very tightly and there is no gap between toggle and knob PLA - glue parts together and give plenty of time to cure ABS - using an ear bud wipe a small amount of acetone in one of the mating hole and half of the dowel, quickly press together before it all evaporates off, do the same for the other side and give it twist while still wet (this will remove any air gaps and ensure the melted plastic is spread evenly all the way round. leave to cure take out the 3 screws on the remote, flip it over and carefully remove the top cover. Gently pry the original toggle from the potentiometer arm and slide the new on in place (do not use too much force, if it doesn't want to fit print the part again but increase the scale slightly) ensure the potentiometer is seated correctly in the housing, replace the top cover (do not screw it down yet) and test the toggle to ensure it is not binding and gives full range of movements, file and adjust where necessary if required and once you're happy replace the three screws and go for a ride!
