+# Switchwire Wall Plate
+This mod is for pure aesthetics.  A Voron Switchwire logo plate to install on the back wall of your printer's enclosure.
+
+(Or optionally on the front grill if no enclosure - but only if you're not already using the LCD mount...)
+
+![](Images/SW_backwall_plate.jpg)
+
+Note: Overall size is about 225x50 (about 10mm thick)
+
+## BOM
+* (4) M3x8mm BHCS
+* (4) M3xD5.0xH4.0 heat-set inserts
+* VHB tape
+
+![](Images/printed_pieces.jpg)
+
+## Directions
+1.  Install inserts in the WITCHWIRE_base
+
+![](Images/base_inserts.jpg)
+
+2. Use backplate_and_drillguide to drill holes in your back panel
+
+3. Use thin strips of vhb tape to affix the badges into respective recesses on the base (no need to affix base to backplate)
+    
+    Note: badge tolerances are tight - you might need to sand a bit off the edges of the badges.
+
+![](Images/assembled1.jpg)
+4. Attach to back panel with (4) M3x8 screws
+
+(Optional: To use on front grill, affix all parts together using vhb tape, and similarly affix the optional nolcd_grill_mount to the center top of the backplate.)
+
+## CAD
+
+OpenSCAD sources are included (it's all I know).  They are sparsely commented - make modifications as you wish.
+
+![](Images/SW_plate_rendered.jpg)
+
+Tip: If you resize the badges, use hundredths of a mm to adjust.
