# Side Skirt Power Switch
|
|
|
|
A mount for the GSW-42 rocker switch in the skirt element to allow easy access to a power switch without reaching behind the printer and trying to find it by touch.
|
|
Can be substituted with GSW-41 if you don't want it to glow red when turned on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Parts Required
|
|
|
|
* (1) GSW-42 illuminated rocker switch
|
|
* Some mains wire
|
|
* Spade crimp connectors
|
|
* Butt crimp connectors
|
|
|
|
## Printing
|
|
|
|
* Print as is for the "a" skirt (rear left/front right) or mirror the part to get the "b" variant.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
* Remove existing skirt element.
|
|
* Attach the new skirt element re-using the same M3x8 screw.
|
|
* Prepare the wires to your liking (unplug from existing switch or splice into existing wiring). You will need 3 wires: line, load, neutral.
|
|
* Fish the wires through the hole.
|
|
* Connect the switch. The GSW-42 switch is connected like so: pin 1 goes to line (plug), pin 2 goes to load (power supply), pin 3 (brass pin) is connected to neutral.
|
|
* Snap the switch into the hole.
|
|
* Enjoy easy access to the power switch.
