for more details.
Removing the switch from its original enclosure can be destructive, so a new enclosure is needed. I modified a small bowl (shaving), and added a slot and groove to allow a usb lead to be inserted into the base.
The fit on my printer is a snug interference fit, and no glue was needed to hold the switch in place, and there's a series of small internal indentations (from original shaving lid use) where the original switch clips can just fit in.
