When form meets function.

I wanted to add a power switch to the side of my printer so as not to have to lean around for access. Anyone with 80's computers experience will know about the famous 'side switches' of early IBM home computers. So I took inspiration there and started looking for the original switch.ibm.thumb.png.0f007e4cb9f9c3ea9238f45880fa181b.png
Sadly, the original switch (Chili 3031) was discontinued and I'm not going to put an actual retro switch on my build so I found this one that has similar enough looks, though a bit smaller than the original:

As requested by @Avalonstar , here's a version to fit the switch on the front skirt of the 2.4 r2 :
