Cadet Throttle Board Cover

Update 11/1/2020 - Added Arduino Sketch

I wanted to add a more traditional switch panel and fake fuse panel to my Cadet Throttle. This is simply a remix to swap out the original pushbuttons for toggle switches, fake fuses and master rocker switches. I'll Post my Arduino joystick sketch once I finalize everything.

Post-Printing

Modifying the Rocker Switches

I took apart the rocker switches to pair up two red and two green.

Multi-color Fuse Buttons

The fuse buttons were printed in dual color by telling Prusa Slicer to color change from white to black.
