FTC robotics competitions require a power switch label to be within a couple inches of the power switch so that field personnel can easily find the power switch if needed.  These models provide a nice, durable, re-usable, and legal label for teams with maximum mounting flexibility using small zip-ties!  There are 3 zip-tie slots along the long side with 16mm spacing that line up with goBILDA hole pattern spacing, but zip-ties are flexible enough to allow use with other hole spacings.  And there is 1 zip-tie slot on the narrow side.  Zip-tie it through holes in channels, around structures, or even velcro or double-side tape it somewhere.  Whatever works for you and your robot.

***NOTE: PRINT WITHOUT SUPPORTS!  Otherwise, your slicer may fill in the zip-tie slots with supports and it will be a pain to clean them out.

There are two versions of the model:

  1. Non-AMS (both stl and step are provided): this is designed for manual filament switching.  Place the model oriented with the label up and start with white.  Add a pause/switch to red filament at the top of the label surface.  This will give you the red slash pattern border.  Then add a pause/switch to black filament after the border pattern.  This will give you the text and power symbol.
  2. AMS (3mf file): this is a multi-body file that will allow you to easily paint the different portions in your slicer.
