Power switch keeps sliding off

I don't think we've seen this before, but I would say that one thing we have seen (and mention a lot in the build document) is inconsistencies between the plastic shells and buttons. I guess what I mean is that this doesn't really surprise me.

I would definitely hesitate to glue the slider to the button nub. I think you're right that it would cause problems.

I think you could maybe build up the button nub with some tape/glue, but if you aren't careful it could impede the motion of the button (like if you got superglue on the actual button).

So, then here's what I would probably try. You know the little "fingers" on the slider that go around the button nub? I'd try to build up one/both of them. If you have any plastic that you shaved from elsewhere, maybe glue it to the finger. You could maybe superglue a piece of toothpick to it? I don't know. I'm kinda just brainstorming here.

Also, we might have an extra slider like that. I'm not sure. If so, maybe I could send one to you. Maybe it'd work better than the one you have.

I know there are some other builders here that have basically built a shell just for practice and then moved on to their final shell. That means that they might have some parts left over from their sacrificial shell. Maybe someone could offer a POWER slider for the price of shipping or something.

I can't guarantee that another slider would fix the problem, but there are options if you wanted buy a whole set. Examples:

Let us know how it goes. I should be back in the office later this week, and I could see if I have an extra slider.
