I am back with the IKEA lightswitch custom covers! Now with BILRESA support and 3D model download for printing.

A few months ago I was bothered that the SOMRIG makro button just comes with a handfull of pre-printed paper sheets to customize the buttons, and I did not find any resource to get or make more of them.

So I built myself a little tool to create those paper printouts. The tool lets you set text, icons, separators, etc.

With indicators for single press, double press or press and hold! ( • , ••, - )

At some point someone asked me if i could offer SVG download as well so it can be used for 3D printing, so I did that as well.

But I noticed that there are no nice 3D models out there to replace the original button faceplates. So I made some, and that was the hardest job of the whole project. Getting a nice fit, good feeling and no breakage on the prints was a hassle. But after a buuunch of prototypes I made it work. And since I now had the 3D models and the tool, I had to combine what I have.. Now the tool supports direct 3D model download, ready for the slicer. For BILRESA and SOMRIG.

Downside to that approach is that I get zero points on makerworld for downloads on the website to finance my next printer, but oh well, I just could not bring myself to make the useability shittier for points haha

I hope someone can make use of the tool! And I am open and happy about feedback or requests (:

Here also the models on makerworld, if anyone wants to print some from there, I would be happy about the points haha
Or boosts of course, if you feel like it
