Designed this in Fusion 360. Turned a water valve into a switch as well. https://imgur.com/gallery/Id7v1n6

I used 1" scrap plywood.

I’m confused. Which part was designed in fusion and which part was made with the mpcnc ?

The wood base was design in fusion. Basically made 3/4" tall “slices”,cut the receptical in and added the holes. The base was all cut on the MPCNC

Sorry, my bad. I only saw the first picture and i was mesmerized by the switch, and the base wasn’t visible without scrolling down. Lol
Nice job.

I’m an electrician. It’s built safely but definitely not something I could sell as it’s not CSA approved. All parts are bonded to ground, GFCI protected by an internal faceless GFCI and all terminals are wrapped and protected.

From imgur “if it breaks do you call a plumber or an electrician?” made my morning.

Very cool project. How did you rig the switch?

Thanks! I got a replacement rotating switch for a floor lamp and fed it into a hollowed out globe valve. It made it so I didn’t have to modify the switch (just took a few bits apart and reassemble it. Hollowing out the globe valve was interesting but not too difficult with a rotary tool and a small grinding attachment. The tough bit was keeping the handle in place after grinding down the downwards pulling threads.
