How to secure the switch top on your Jelly Beamer Transmitter

Summary

If the colored switch cap on your Jelly Beamer Transmitter comes off during use, you can secure it with a small amount of semi-permanent adhesive. This will add resistance to help hold the switch top in place, preventing it from loosening over time.

Required Items

  • Jelly Beamer Transmitter
  • One of the following adhesive options:
    • Elmer’s School Glue
    • Hot glue from a hot glue crafting gun
    • Thread seal tape (plumber’s tape)
    • Removable mounting or poster putty
  • Optional: A small applicator (e.g., a cotton swab for glue)
  • Optional: Scissors or utility knife (if using thread seal tape)

Instructions

Action: Turn off the Jelly Beamer and ensure it is disconnected from any devices.
Expected Result: The device is powered down, preventing accidental activation during the process

Action: Remove the colored switch cap by gently unscrewing or pulling it off.
Expected Result: The cap should detach easily, exposing the switch threads.

Action: Choose and apply a small amount of adhesive to the switch threads.

  • If using glue or putty, apply a thin layer directly to the threads.
  • If using thread seal tape, wrap a small section around the threads.
    Expected Result: The adhesive should provide light resistance without excessive buildup.

Action: Reattach the colored switch cap by pressing or screwing it back into place.
Expected Result: The cap should fit securely with added resistance from the adhesive.

Action: Allow the adhesive to set as recommended by the manufacturer.
Expected Result: The switch cap should now stay in place more firmly during use.

Tips and Troubleshooting

  • If the switch cap is still loose: Apply a slightly thicker layer of adhesive or additional thread seal tape.
  • If too much adhesive was applied: Wipe off excess glue before it dries, or trim excess tape if needed.
  • For a temporary hold: Use mounting putty, which allows for easy removal if needed in the future.
