3 steps

1

Mill or print the moulds

The moulds were designed for the resin print, if you want to mill the molds out of aluminium, you may have to make a few changes, or get in contact and I can help you. For the botton mould you need 4x M8x50 screws, for the frame mould you need 4x M8x40 screws.

2

Inject

Assmeble the mould, inject, deassemble and do the afterwork. Use polypropylene, this plastic type is safer for electronic enclosures than HDPE.

3

Mount it on the wall

Use a Schneider Elso 111600 switch, turn off the fuse and install the electronics.' Use 2 small screws to mount the frame and the switch to the wall. Press the push botton on the switch, turn on the fuse and be happy with a light switch from recycled plastic waste.
