Chuông Cửa Nút Bấm Arcade (Arcade Button Doorbell)

Introduction

I thought my doorbell was really boring so I decided to make something cool instead! Featuring the Seimitsu Alutimo button, a really low profile arcade button that has a regular MX switch, so you can customize the feel too. If you're feeling printey, you can even print your own button!

Thanks to @isycat for their button design, it was very useful in the design of this doorbell.

Or use my own with a Kailh Choc switch:

Designed to use the same screw holes as my previous doorbell, which looked like this one, a very common wired doorbell found in Dutch housing. Screw holes are 48-50mm apart but can be customized in Fusion.

WARNING

I don't know if it's water proof, probably not since there is no rings or rubber involved, but I did my best to make the water be able to drain from the housing. You might have to replace the switch at some point. I have had mine up for about half a year, from january till june, without failing. Switch still looks good and functions well. Even after heavy rain I didn't really find any water inside of it.

Make

I printed on Prusa Mini with 0.25mm nozzle and 0.10mm layer height, 100% infill with Devil Design PETG (Black and PC Gray).

Parts and supplies needed

• base and cover parts printed (preferably something more durable than PLA for outside use)

• plugs should be in the wall and you should have screws along with them

• a switch (https://www.smallcab.net/seimitsu-alutimo-30mm-yellow-p-2948.html)

• wires to attach to the switch (https://www.smallcab.net/cable-80cm-connector-dupont-terminal-28mm-p-1442.html)

How to

1. Print in PETG at least. ASA would be ideal. PLA will deform when the sun shines on it.

2. Install the base part with the little notch facing down (this is the drainage and the spot to insert a flathead screwdriver to open it up), make sure it's straight and secure!

3. secure the button to the cover part

4. attach wires to the button, going to whatever does the DING DONG or TTRRRIIIINGGG

5. just make sure it works honestly
   personally I put a linear switch in mine and had to bend the switch pins a little to have it make contact with the copper inside the Seimitsu housing.

6. now just push it against the base part to close it
