Qidi Q1 Pro front power button

Hello !

If you like my work, please rate it.

I think I'm not alone in thinking that the switch on the back is not a good idea.

I don't like drilling, cutting, or sculpting a well-functioning 3D printer. I like to leave it as it is.

Using a 3D printed frame and 500mm bicycle cable, I moved the machine's on/off button to the front.

You will also need a few 3mm diameter screws. The clamping screws should not be overtightened as they will break the plastic.
Finding the connection point between the shift lever and the cable requires a little bit of skill. The excess cable can be cut off. You can use two-component or UV glue to fix the position of the screws once they are adjusted. The rear frame is held in place by the power supply cable when fully inserted.
If you have any questions, ask. I added new legs between the models, which are a few millimeters higher than the original and rest on a larger surface. They are needed because otherwise the cable holder frame will touch the table. These are worth printing from TPU. They also dampen vibrations.

Of course, there are several solutions to this. A power switch moved forward. Or unplugging the printer from the connector or using a switched power strip.

I think this is an interesting non-destructive solution. :D
