Microswitch to leaf switch adapter

What do you do when you have a leaf switch button but no leaf switch, a bunch of microswitches, and it's COVID-19 outside? You make your own microswitch to leaf switch adapter!

This mounts with #6 x 1/2" screws. The mount/base needs to be screwed in place then the switch lever is clipped in to place followed by the switch. Care must be taken to not break anything during assembly. I have included a version that uses M3x16 and M3x20 screws and nuts if you have a ton of those around and want a more robust solution.

I included a screw plate that you can print and glue on the side with good old cyanoacrylate if you have the space on your panel for the extra width.

I also remixed Adapter ring for pinball button by 3dwkl https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2459864 to include a mount for a short 5mm LED which I will use to light my transparent blue button.
