3D model description

Usage

  1. Print
  2. Put unfolded paperclip / wire in (solder works great too!)
  3. Put Switch into RCM by sliding on right side and holding VOL+ and pressing Power

Debugging

This might not be the greatest design of these as this is only v6 I printed and tested, but it does work. The paperclip I used wasn't cut down, but I did use a lighter to burn off any coating (if there was any, idk). The final paperclip had a resistance of 300-1000 Ohm, total length of ~8cm.

Design decisions

  1. Asymmetric: worked best in tests.
  2. Longer: my own preference for jigs, to not lose them. Also makes using actual paperclips easier as you don't have to cut them short.
  3. Thicker wire: up to 1.2mm wire should work, all my paperclips were 1mm+ so I needed a larger design
  4. Simple top: there's a lot of space for designs on the top, but let's appreciate the clean look.
