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. -

Very nice casing, thank you very much for sharing this!

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 haven’tadded the gear plus arm to the modelbut might do itfor 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. 😉- This reply was modified 3 years ago by Meinhard. Reason: Updated the picture

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! -
