In the back position it keeps the switch from being accidentally bumped. Push it forward with your thumb and the light is ready to use.     |

Nice. I had a similar idea. Mine is more to prevent it from getting knocked on in the gun safe. Here's my design.

I also made this.
I bought a cheap OC Spray pouch for my rifle light since I don't need the light on my rifle all the time. Then, I printed this insert so, no matter how roughly the pouch gets jostled, the light can't accidentally turn on.    3mm thick and 1mm thick in the hinges. |

This is the kinda shit I would make if I had a 3D printer. I’ll buy 2x of them! Would make traveling with a gun in a bag nicer not worried about the light coming on and setting fire to my bag or burning out |

Final version:
I angled the back edges and increased the size of the tab on the inside so movement is limited forward and backward to what you see.        This version is for rifle-mounted lights; I'm printing a pistol version now with a thumb tab on the left side and a cut-out for the trigger guard. |

Nice, I like that!
Does it click into place? |

I don’t own a railed pistol so I don’t know if it’s as much of a concern but here’s the pistol version with cut-out for trigger guard and a tab on the left for the thumb.

Got a download link? I currently use a piece of milled delrin that sits between the levers and rail to physically prevent the movement, this might be a better solution...

@jchock
Links in the OP. I think you'll need to log into Tinkercad to use them? Sorry, very new at this and currently at like a 5th grade level. |

Nope, I completely missed the link... Logged in with my AutoDesk Fusion360 account and exported to an STL. I'll have to try it later tonight... Thanks! |

You didn't miss the links. I added them because you asked. I look forward to seeing these refined by someone more skilled than me. |

Yours is on the left, mine on the right, and my design is on the background TLR-1. Both designs work and I did replace the milled delrin/acetal block with this piece instead. |

Gives them a sort of textured camouflage look. Anyway, I wish I had foliage green filament to match my other furniture but, alas, just black.  Next, I'm working on an M-LOK cantilever rail. |

Noticed the DARE officer at my school had a TRL-1 on the rifle in his car - gave him one of these switch covers.
He liked it. I'm actually interested to hear some feedback from him on its usefulness. |
