Simple 10 sec. Z-switching vane modification

[Renevanderknaap]

This is by far the most simple and easy DIY upgrade for your Felix 2.0 Z-switching Vane.
It works great, looks professional and everybody can upgrade in less than 10 seconds. You dont have to drill, screw or glue.

The only thing you need is a clothespin or wasknijper as we call it in the Netherlands. Its a MacGyver solution

Depending on the Brand you might have to bend the spring a little.
Clip it on and it does the job.

Succes.

Done.

@ Maker: Sorry to hear it didnt work for you the way it was ment to be, probibly your spring had to much tension. There are some nasty plastic clothpins with very strong springs, try to avoid them, the wooden ones are the best and have al dimensions to fit perfectly. Bend the spring a little and slide it in position.
Seen from the last picture you have to slide it in from the back, you dont need much tension or any force to get it in place.
You can find de stl file under downloads/print_files/spare_parts

Succes.
