Кнопка фонаря Maglite (проверена с фонарями 3-4-5D) / Комплект кнопок переключателей типа "шариковая ручка

Replacement button kit for D-battery operated Maglite torches (tested with 3-4-5D Maglites). If the button of your old torch broke / chipped / deformed / wore out and no longer work you can easily replace it with this matching kit. Each button part is compatible with each of the original Maglite button parts, so you can either replace the whole button assembly or just change the broken component.

I've tested it in 3-4-5D Maglites, in 2 different series of switches. Test printed 3,5 sets to ensure proper functionality. Also did approx 100-120 clicks with each assembled switch without issues.

The package includes all three plastic button parts (Core-, Secondary- and cylinder). Rest of the switch assembly (spring, ring, connectors, housing etc) NOT INCLUDED!

Note: many other tools use the similar bll-pen type switch. I included the fully editable Blender version of the button parts so if you want to customize it (change gear depth, number of gears, gear angles, cylinder sizes etc) to fit other tools, this can also stand as a good base for your work.

I recommend simply using the .3mf file with a standard 0.4 or the smaller 0.2 extrusion head (I use a Bambu P1S with 0.4 head), as all the settings are there. I don't think it is possible to print it with a larger head, as there are 0.3mm thin components. To be on the safe side: I used 0.08 layer height, all Line width parameters set to 0.3, random seam position, scarf app angle 0, scarf around entire wall, unticked scarf t for inner wall and role based wipe speed. Used tree for critical regions.

Material: I used basic PLA.
No gluing, filing etc needed, but make sure to go throught the below step by step!

Instructions for preparation and assembly: I'd guess with a 0.2 head you can ignore the below, but with 0.4 only 1 out of the 3 full test prints functioned for me hot out of the printer with only the s removed. But due to the minitature details, the parts need a little grind-together usually:

1. Before assembly, with a harder brush or your nails, just clean out any cob-webs from between the little gears, and from the surface of the parts.

2. Then take you allen key, a toothpick etc and wipe out the inside of the cylinders to make sure the parts slide into one other with ease.

3. Then put together the whole switch. DO NOT FIT IT IN THE TORCH AT THIS POINT.

4. Start clicking. If it works right away, it can go into your Maglite and you are done.

5. If the button sticks down, insert the allen key / thin object into the assembly shaft, and just wiggle it a litte so the button clicks. You might have to repeat this 5-7 times, then you will start to feel the smoother work. After 10-15 clicks you sould be good to go. At this point I'd suggest to take the switch apart, put it back together again to be fail safe. Test a couple of times, and if it is working just fine, fit it into your Maglite :)
