IF YOU ARE USING IT WITH JEEPING JOHNNY'S CSM, THIS PART HAS TO BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH THE “Frame Shorter.stl” and “Yarn Stand Mount Separate.stl”!

If you use the bigger “Frame.stl” then the distance between the pre-set yarn mast position and the collar will not allow the yarn carrier to pass (see pictures regarding this problem in the comments here, thanks @TTraband for the hint: https://www.printables.com/model/674550-csm-magnetic-counter-manual-advance-switch/comments/2212080). 

As I sometimes forget to reset my row counter I wished to have the possibility to manually advance the counter as easy as owners of mechanical counters are able to.

So I designed this switch. It can be setup right in front of the sensor and will not interfere with its normal functionality.

Additional parts needed: compression spring, 6 or 7mm in diameter, 25cm length (I made one myself from .8 spring steel and a M6 rod)

Here you can see it in action: 

Printing:
See pictures for print orientation and parts with support.

Assembly:
After printing, put spring in place, push the slider through the hole and glue the slider foot onto the bottom of the slider to keep it from falling out. That's it!
