Ah, I didn't mean the touch slider. That one is working reasonably
indeed. Still needs some improving, though, but it's certainly
usable.
What I was talking about is the rfkill switch. That switch has a
little knob sticking out. One could operate this directly (which
is how it works in the Anelok-CR2032 prototype) but the usual
approach is to have a piece of custom-made plastic that sits on
top of that knob and that presents an outside surface compatible
with the overall industrial design of the device.
Maybe I should call it just "knob", to avoid confusing it with
the touch slider.

Excellent, thanks ! I still have to make a model designed for
printing, so that'll be in a few days.
The CAD model I have at the moment is mainly for exploring the
geometry and lacks features a real case would need, i.e., in CAD,
all the components are happy to just float in space exactly where
I tell them to go. Alas, this sort of magic doesn't translate
well to real life ...
Thanks,
