πŸ”˜ Switch Clicker

A two-part fidget clicker built around a real MX switch. A photo, an SVG or typed text becomes a pressable multi-colour cap and a housing, exported as a print-ready 3MF.

Cap style

Proud β€” the cap stands above the rim like a key. Flush β€” the rim is raised level with the cap's face and the press goes inward. Flush also shields the artwork's edge.

Fit & printing

The clearance added to every dimension that touches the switch. Prints come out slightly under size, so if the switch will not go in choose "loose"; if it falls out, choose "tight".

Switch pins

The housing swallows the pins as they are β€” nothing to do to the switch. Housing height: 20.8 mm.

Needs one standard MX switch (Cherry / Gateron / Kailh and so on). The housing is open underneath β€” push the switch up from below until its clips lock, then press the cap onto the stem from above. No glue, no screws, and it comes back out again.

Print the housing open-side down and the cap artwork-down β€” neither needs supports. 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layers.
