Poke Light Switch Rocker (SCAD)

This is a decorator style faceplate for outlets and light switches, colored to look like a pokeball. :)

Can be printed with or without mmu.

Materials

I used a holographic build plate and Jessie PLA, but other build pates and filament types also work.

• Jessie PLA Design White

• Jessie PLA Red Ice

Printing

Print face down, 100% infill. 

• If you have an MMU, you can print using the .3mf file.

• No MMU?

  • Print each color stl separate and glue together.

  • You can skip supports on the white part by using the PrusaSlicer's Cut Tool to split the white stl into two parts. https://help.prusa3d.com/article/cut-tool_1779

Want other Gang Sizes?

• Install latest OpenSCAD: https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots

• Launch OpenSCAD > Edit > Preferences > Advanced > 3D Rendering > Backend > New/Fast

Open the .scad file and update the parameter number_of_gangs.

To render/export to stl:

1. Change the part_to_render paramter to white or red or black, then hit F6 (render) and F7 (export stl). 

2. Export the stl for each. 

3. Select all three stl files and drag into PrusaSlicer together. 

That will trigger PrusaSlicer to detect the mmu color printable object.
