Replacement microswitch mount for Namco Exceleena Conlux N-563-1 coin mech

This was one that I'd wanted to do for a while after the manual translation.

The factory 100 yen coin mech is
Series = Conlux N500
Model = N-560
Variant = N-563-1

The only difference between the N-560 and the N-563-1 is the black plastic microswitch retainer that also acts as a coin guide between the bottom of the mechanism and the coin bucket.

Interestingly the N-560 is not particularly rare or expensive in Australia and NZ (the only countries that imported Excelena in any volume) I suspect they all got stripped out of the machine on arrival, stuck in a box somewhere, and forgotten about.

Unfortunately the black plastic microswitch retainer/coin guide is vanishingly rare - have never seen or even heard of one being for sale. 3D printing to the rescue!

Huge thanks to @Big_P Big_p for the measurements, without which this would never have happened.

STL attached, this is designed to print without supports, I used the "outer brim only" setting to help with bed adhesion.

Assembly notes as follows

1 x Zippy microswitch "with needle". This was actually the hardest part to find for a bunch of boring reasons that I won't go into, TL;DR use this

You'll need to bend the wire quite precisely to fit the guide
2 x M3x16mm bolts for the microswitch
2 x M3 nuts for the back of the microswitch
2 x M3x8mm bolts to attach the microswitch mount to the bracket


And the finished article should look like this
