Steampunk Lightswitch - Euroswitch remix

thingiverse

I loved the original Steampunk Light Switch design - very well made, thought out and properly designed. However, American lightswitches are very different, and I'm European, so I decided to make a version that's made for European switches, specifically what we use in Denmark. This version works by the lever pressing on the switch when thrown, and then you add two springs that press on the bottom part of the switch so that it's forced to turn off whenever you pull the switch away. Alternatively you could take the switch cover off and put a spring directly in there if you don't have any 5mm ID springs to fit this design. Careful not to use too strong springs. I added a small indent in the stopper on the switch to fit a magnet - this is totally optional if you want some extra hold to hold the lever in place, but I don't have any problem without. The magnet slot is 5.5mm*2.1mm
