my first try just to get the feel of it (at the time I had never used a bottom button so I needed to give it a try
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as simple as it could get
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
made the first button
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I managed to make a mech switch for it today
It works ok but a little stiff I just used one of the extra springs that I got in my second zmax bottom cap after ruining 2 of my kids toys trying to take out their spring
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the holder
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've now changed the format from a 18490 to 18650, made the walnut sleve and I'm getting closer to the final product!
here is the wooden tube with the exposed switch
my idea here is to trim a few mm from the sides and make a stainless sleeve to get rid of the wooble
and this sleeve will also function as a safety switch
here is the sleeve in unlocked position
and locked
this modding thing is much easier that I thought!!
don't worry I still have to drill some vent holes
