A few people have asked about my modified switch blank, the one that I inserted a voltmeter into. This is the voltmeter that I used: https://www.banggood.com/MINI-DC-0-32V-3-Digital-LED-Display-Voltmeter-p-1216060.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN <https://www.banggood.com/MINI-DC-0-32V-3-Digital-LED-Display-Voltmeter-p-1216060.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN> The .stl file for your 3D printer (just 8kb) is on my dropbox, here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4c2jl7llrtqnjs/Blank_Plug_edit-1.zip?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4c2jl7llrtqnjs/Blank_Plug_edit-1.zip?dl=0> I also put a 3-way switch inline with that, and wired one power lead to the main battery and one to the auxiliary battery. I can toggle back and forth to see the two battery's states. My wife, however, most appreciates the middle setting - no power to the display at all. MUCH better at night! I mounted it under the dash, out of site.
