Corry switches

How to make a corry switch

Most Boeing 767 corry switches have the same size. I make these corry switches myself. For that I have an STL file with a block. That block can hold 2×2 LEDs. A plate is placed on that block, on which the text or image is placed. All lettering for the complete cockpit of the 767 can be downloaded here as a PDF. Below you will find step by step how I make the corry switches.

• 

  Print out the PDF file

• 

  Cut out the desired inscription from the sheet with inscriptions.

• 

  Stick the cut-out inscription with the printed side on a piece of double-sided adhesive foil. I use this foil from the Aslan brand. And then stick the other side of the double-sided foil on a piece of plastic sheet between 0.2 and 0.3 mm thick.

• 

  Cut off the pieces of plastic sheet that stick out.

• 

  Print the corry switch and the corry switch plate with the 3D printer. If necessary, these are always included in the zip files of my 3d designs.

• 

  Now stick the white back on a piece of double-sided adhesive foil.

• 

  Cut off the protruding pieces of adhesive foil.

• 

  Then stick the inscription on the plate of the corry switch.

• 

  Push the plate into the corry switch.

Result

Just place the corry switch in the panel and it’s ready.
