Is it ok if I power my omega2+ via the USB A port? In other words, it's getting its power form the 3D printer's USB connection. It's working just fine, I'm just wondering if I am setting myself up for problems later on. It certainly makes for a cleaner install.
I originally had it powered via the microUSB from my laptop but then I went to power the omega2+ from a USB power adapter plugged into the power bar. I noticed that when I unplugged the microUSB power cable, it stayed on.

My printer is the Kodama Trinus3D which is running a proprietary variant of Marlin (I think).

I got my Omega with minidock earlier this week and love it. However, not one hour after opening up, the switch on the mini dock is broken. Any chance you can just list a few compatible replacement parts at Mouser or Digikey that we could use to make our own in-field repair? We definitely need something with a bit more mass in the switch.
