Description
Sometimes the chase for a mosquito or a fly takes longer as expected. Constantly keeping the finger on the button is exhausting, so there had a solution to be found.
This gadget allows you to keep your Insekten Schröter or Executioner Racket always activated as long as you need without your finger on the button.
PETG is recommended due to its flexibility (especially for the clamp) and durability of the material.
I have printed it with a 0,25mm nozzle, but it will work with a 0,4mm, too. Only the warning sign on the slider really requires the thinner nozzle, wherefore I added two variants of gcodes / mf3 files. The files for the 0,4mm nozzle have the non-sign slider version included.
Please make sure to have your printer well calibrated and consider shrinkage compensation depending on your material. Otherwise the slider may jam in the top-plate.
Lay the bottom-plate over the knob of the racket handle.
Make sure that the flat surface is on top, and the opening for the knob points to the lower end of the handle.
Caution, it is not fixed yet.
Lay the slider from behind into the top-plate.
Lay the top-plate with the slider on the bottom-plate, and align everything well.
Caution, it is still not fixed yet.
Mount the clamp from the backside of the Racket handle, and hock it on one side in the slot of the top-plate.
Than gently press from the backside on the clamp until you are able to move the second hook of the clamp over the second slot of the Top-Plate and let it slip in.
Only now, everything is fixed.
Now you are done, and your Mosquito Racket is ready for the next chase.
