Adding 3 limit switch models from XKB, step & wrl files

Ulices requested to merge hasecilu/kicad-packages3D:mechanical_limit_switch into master

Following a symbol MR (kicad-symbols!3586) and a footprints MR (kicad-footprints!2897) here are the 3D model step & wrl files.

Here are the source files: kicad-packages3D-source!346

I'm using the materials from the KiCadStepUp WB in FreeCAD (white body, metal gray pins, black body、metal silver). The color are more opaque than the original ones in the FCStd source files.

Note: to be able to correctly export from source FreeCAD file you need to have the tree view like this and match color on elements that are the same material.

Note 2: Using KiCadStepUp I had to use the export tool 2 times because I USED OFFSETS, so, on the first export the STEP file was ok, but WRL not, only after exporting by second time the WRL is OK.

Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! Remember you must be the legal owner of the 3D model! Models downloaded from a manufacturers website cannot be accepted.

To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items as you complete them:

  • A screenshot of the model(s) aligned with KiCad footprint(s)
  • Source files are contributed on the apropriate location
  • Step model submitted in 1:1 scale
  • WRL model submitted in 1:2.54 scale
  • 3D model alignment checked against KiCad footprint
  • WRL model uses correct material properties
  • Geometry check performed on the model

Be patient, we maintainers are volunteers with limited time and need to check your contribution against the datasheet. You can speed up the process by providing all the necessary information (see above).
