  Hi,
  I’m very impressed by all the work having been put into this project.
  The two of us managed to built a working small setup so far. Thankyou for this great project!
  
  Having a few Danish switches and a few from BlueBrixx, we needed to get them automated too.
  The motors sold by TrixBrix where out of stock for quite a while, so I’ve ordered a few micro servo motors from AZ-Delivery. The ones available at the time of ordering where the ones named MG90S.
  We’ve managed to build a housing using quite a few bricks but we would like to hide the motors in a smaller housing.
  
  Not having 3D printed anything before nor having designed something to be 3D printed, I had a go and learnt to design something using FreeCad.
  
  With the lack of a 3D printer, it’ll take a while before we get that printed but I thought I’d share the result anyway in the hope that some may find it useful.
  
  Be aware, it’s work in progress.
  
  The complete project can be found over at GitLab:

  Nice work. Shall there be enough place for the servo arm to move in the closed housing?
  Please share fotos from the thing if it is ready!
  I glued a housing from polystyrol but I am not 100% satisfied with it.

  I don’t know if you saw the other pictures over at GitLab. There is a sort of cross shaped pocket in the housing giving room for the motor’s arm.
  I have~~n’t~~ added the gear plus arm to the model ~~but might do it~~ for a clearer pictures of how the motor is supposed to live in it’s housing.
  
  This may help in picturing how the motor’s arm is supposed to operate within the housing.
  I certainly will share pictures once I manage to print this thing. Not having access to a 3D-Printer (yet?) I would rely on someone to make a test print. Let’s see, how soon this will happen. 😉

  Hello All!
  
  Here’s a take on a switch motor for MLC. Housing can be built around to your heart’s content.
  
  Let me know what you think.
  Thanks!
