Hi Norm,

Thanks for the description, but I’m still having trouble visualising this… (sorry)

Kind regards.

Dear All,

Inside is a pair of L shaped slots that mate up with the switch so when you put the cap on you rotate it until there is a click when it locates...

Cheers,
Norm

I have just received some great close-up pictures from the outside (thanks, David!). But the inside is still a bit of a mystery to me.

Thanks,
Ben

The red lense in the photo looks pretty close to me.

Ben, the red lens cap screws onto the threads on the the switch.  If I can find mine (put it away for safe keeping), I can at least give you exterior dimensions.

Hi John,

Any info is appreciated, thanks! I did a quick test print, and it looks like it might work. :) See attached photo.

If yours is broken, I’d be interested to have a photo of the inside. I have no idea how it actually was fixed on the switch. I see a little vertical slit, and then there’s sort of a round snap ring.

Hi,
I have had the same idea, but never got around to buying the printer yet. I will dig around for the pieces of mine that I think I saved for the exact purpose. Will forward info if I find something. In any case, please add me to the list. Rather than bust fingers turning on the switch I put it on a remote wall switch, but it would be nice to fix that issue. Thanks Ben
John

Subject: [newmellotrongroup] 3d printed M400 power cap


Hi,

I have found this really nice transparant red filament for my 3D printer, so I thought I’d have a go at printing a cap for my M400’s power switch.

Problem is obviously that I do not have the original cap. I’d greatly appreciate it if somebody could supply me with some close-up photo’s and/or dimensions.

Best regards,
Ben
