This is a follow up to my last post about a SO ("Shut Off") switch that had lost its plastic actuator and hence caused trouble during shutdown of the deck. I set out to develop a 3D printed part to replace the missing plastic part. This shows the SO (left) and the ES ("End Switch", right) in comparison. The ES still has its plastic appendage, while the SO is missing it.
I took measurements and then went through a few 3D printing iterations to get a part that would come out right. Due to the small size this was pushing the limits of the 3D printer, so the outcome was significantly difficult from the 3D CAD design, and experimentation finally yielded a useful shape:
I glued it on with epoxy:
And now this Beogram can shut down again in an orderly manner:
On to the sub-chassis and platter adjustment.
