DIY enlarge/raise switchbuttons

Hello guys,

 

I was given so many usefull things here that I like to give something back.

 

For better handling in the heat of battle I wanted to have the right/left switchbutton of my HX-Stomp a bit higher to avoid switching the middle one by accident.

I found theese stainless steel curtain rod endcaps:

They also are available with a flat top:

Have a look at the attached pictures!

Inner diameter: a bit wider than 10mm.

Inner height: 10mm

Height of four washers: 4mm

Remaining height inside (corresponds line six switchbutton-head height): 6mm

 

Building instructions:

Inside theese caps I superglued four washers (all at once an quickliy to get a defined height)

Let dry!

To get the inner diameter of the cap a bit narrower put some superglue on the inner surface.

Let dry!

Put the caps on the switches.

 

They fit so tight that you shouldn´t get them off unintentionally.

Possibly scratch some glue off to make it fit.

 

If needed you can remove the caps without a trace.

 

This works fine for me and looks great and decent.

For the big Brothers of HX-Stomp this could be a cheap second-switch-row solution.

 

 

Cheers!
