Introduction: Key Light Switch
Light Switches are everywhere, house , offices, bathrooms,... and everyone must touched the same switch to turn on/off the lights. Few places have switches that don't need to be touch to be used because they are much more expensive. Here, I am offering a cheap and touchless solution.
With this device I tried to achieve two goals:
- Do not spread the covid-19 through light switches
- Privacy: only certain people (the one with the keys) can use the light switch.
I am 16 years old, I am going to 1º de bachillerato the equivalent to Grade 11.
In this project I am using trigonometry,geometry and a lot of maths in general.
Supplies
- 3d Printer
- PLA
- 2 Springs (diameter 5mm and 7mm long more or less)
Step 1: Taking Measures & Decorating
WARNING: I design this device taking my own light switch measures, that is a square of more or less 70mm size. If yours is much bigger or smaller I am afraid it won't work in your light switch.
To give it a personal touch I designed the mandala you are seeing in the picture that is a combination of 3 hexagons.
Step 2: Designing
I used 360 fusion to design it.
Step 3: 3D Printing
PRINT THE "ESFERA" twice.
I am leaving below the .stl files, you can also download it from these link:

Step 4: Assembling It
After assembling it stick it to the wall around the light switch. The border around the light switch must be removed.
And that is it, I hope you have enjoyed it the same I enjoyed doing it. :)
