Slider Sign - On/Off, In/Out, Yes/No

prusaprinters

<p>Use this sign to to show binary options. Originally I made the sign to show if a person was In or OUT, but then I decided to add some additional options just for fun. The snap-in slider moves side to side to show:</p> <ul> <li>IN or OUT</li> <li>ON or OFF</li> <li>YES or NO</li> </ul> <p>The slider can display:</p> <ul> <li>blank</li> <li>BUSY?</li> <li>OCCUPIED?</li> <li>CLEAN?</li> <li>HAPPY?</li> </ul> <p>The prints are designed to print the text in a contrasting color using two color printing with filament switching. This works very well with a dark color as background and a "metallic" color for the text; a gray or black background with white text also work well (see the photos).</p> <p>The OnShape 3D CAD files for this are available here:</p> <p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/979b26e885838d93a9785bed/w/b3fad08a36cac413f18a2f9e/e/c7964ac9324332973aa87196">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/979b26e885838d93a9785bed/w/b3fad08a36cac413f18a2f9e/e/c7964ac9324332973aa87196</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Print in PLA with 10% rectilinear infill. Use the provided 3mf files for filament switching (or as examples).</p> <p>The sign base and the slider are printed separately. The slider simply snaps into place, but getting it inserted can be a bit tricky. I recommend using this technique:</p> <p>Hold the sign base upside down at at angle, with the slider inserted into one slot. Push down with your thumbs to bend the base <em>slightly</em> along the long axis, while pushing the slider into the other slot at the same time. Once the slider snaps into place it should slide easily.</p>
