Summary

3/7/14: Updated to support angles 90-180. Thanks MyMakibox. (Previously 94 downloads.)

I found a bunch of these rocker switches on ebay only a few dollars, so for this printer, I'm forgoing my cool fully printable switch panel (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:30348), and using these things instead. This is fully customizable (rows, columns, angle, etc) if you open in customizer. You just snap the switch into place and wire it up.

Be careful that you leave enough room for your nuts to fit on the backs of the angled extenders -- I need to add some code that looks out for that case, but it's not in there yet. You might notice that I I actually use M2 hardware so I didn't have to have the nut on the front.

The clip, by the way, is the same one I use in my other designs, like the Test Tube Holder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:240275). You can insert a nut into the trap, and use a set screw to tighten it down to the board. You might not even have to do that, though.

Switches: Last I checked, you can still get 20 switches for $3.14, shipping included on ebay. Search "20 Pcs Boat Rocker Switch"
