Using Snapmker CNC module always makes me scared because of the turning spinner.  
So I made this E-stop button in case of any scary things happening, I can stop the machine immediately, instead of wasting time to find the tiny ON/OFF switch on the controller.  
It’s designed for the emergency button module with 16mm diameter.  
Feel free to download f3d file and mod it for your needs.

Lovely Idea!  
Should definitely be part of the final product. Whereas I think it could be done a little bit more decent 😛

One question though, is this the right position for a kill switch ? Because when you slam it, you’ll hit the snapmaker on one of it’s ‘bones’ ?!

Very good…

where and how big will be debated unless and until the design team steps in.
