Build Instructions

A comprehensive set of instructions for creating this style of switch mounting adapter is available at the following link: http://atmakers.org/2017/02/at-switch-adapters/


Print Settings:

  • 0.2mm layer height
  • 15% infill
  • No Supports


Clean out any support material from the center section.

To install the tee nut, line up the barbs of the tee nut with the slots on the mount adapter. Put the washer on the 1/4″-20 UNC bolt, and thread it through the adapter and into the tee nut. Tighten the bolt until the tee is flush with the bottom of the adapter. You can then unscrew and remove the bolt and washer.
