Air flow switch holder

This is the OpenSCAD code to create a waffer flow sensor to hold a microswitch to stop the laser from firing if the exhaust flow stops. None of the dimensions have been set here yet.

/* exhaust airflow detector safety interlock for cheap Chinese laser at Hac DC This switch is a lug style wafer for insertion between the exhaust collector and the exhaust nozzle on the back of the laser chassis. When the exhaust fan is running and air is flowing the switch will operate to allow the laser to fire. This switch is upstream of the exhaust fan so air will leak into the exhaust stream, not exhaust leaking out into room air.
