Practical case: saw switch - IdeaTo3D

Projects // Practical case: saw switch

8 January 2015

A client requested my services because he had a problem with the switch of his industrial saw. The case of the switch was broken making it unusable. The saw being old no replacement part could be found anywhere.

The saw:

The broken part is relatively complex, there are a couple of openings, a push button must be fixed to it and the whole switch mecanism and wires must fit.

The object must be inserted in the saw and fixed to the orginal system. All the parts that are intact will be reused.

The 3D model that I did:

A couple of pictures of the printed part:

Fixed on the support:

In place on the saw:
