Prusa i3v Latched Switch (Button) Bracket

Description

A Very Simple, Yet Fitted, Latched Switch Bracket That Fits Nicely Into The Aluminum Extrusion Construction On The I3V. To Mount This To Your Aluminum Extrusion, All You Need Is An Extra T-Nut And M5 Bolt, Which You Should Have Left Over From The Kit (I Did At Least). The Hole For The M5 Bolt Will Be Tight, Which Is Fine. You Want The Threads Of The Bolt To Dig Into The Plastic, Giving It A Good Hold. Of Course The Larger Hole Will Accompany The Latched Button Switch, Which Is Designed For 16Mm Diameter Buttons (The Button Diameter Can Be Determined By The Diameter Of The Threaded Portion). I Had To Use An X-Acto Knife To Clean The Inner Diameter For A Little More Width. I Tried Threading It Through The Hole With The Threads On The Button, But It Was Too Tight And I Couldn'T Get A Good Grip On It. Currently, The Bracket Only Suits The Righthand Side, But I'D Be More Than Happy To Upload The Lefthand Side At Anyone'S Request. Also, If A Larger Sized Hole Is Needed For A Different Button, I Can Make One For That Too! The Openscad File Is In The Downloads If You Want To Just Modify It Yourself!
