What is it?

It's a switch holder for Ikea Skadis! It can hold a little slide switch with M2.5 screws with or without nuts. It uses a hook and a peg to secure it in the typical oblong spacing of the skadis plate.

Why though?

Wifey got me a nice neon light of a controller, I wanted to fit it in my skadis network "rack" but I didn't want to have the switch dangling around so I had this idea to make a holder for a little switch.

Will it fit?

Short answer, yes.

It's snug because I didn't want it to move around when I flick the switch. The hook has rounded edges to make insertion easy.
Bear in mind it uses 2 holes in the skadis plate, top hole for the hook, bottom hole for the peg.
I made sure there is enough space for the wires to comme either way.

For the screws I used M2.5x4mm but you can go up to M2.5x10mm

I'll say it again in the print note but:

Print the support on it's side

Otherwise the hook will snap, see the print note for more info

How should I print this?

I have an Alfawise U20 and I don't trust it a lot so these setting will probably be overkill if you have a fancy 3D printer

• Wall line count: 3 to 4
• Top/Bottom layers: 4
• Infill: 25 to 30% Gyroid
• Support: Yes
• Raft: Yes 5 to 8mm

Learn from my mistakes: print it on it's side! Otherwise the filament path will be parallel to the force applied by the hook and it will snap when you plug it in the skadis plate.
