Reversible Light Touch Assistive Switch ----------------------------------------------------- On the MMC forums there were some notes about wanting the wire to come out the hinge side: The hinge on an Ultra Light switch is located on the same side as the wire output as shown in Figure 6.On the Makers Making Change [Light Touch Switch], however, the cord position is reversed on and is placed on the opposite side of the hinge. Both placements are useful. It would be worth exploring placing the wire on a different design on the same side as the hinge. This would allow fitting the switch between smaller joints. [Link to forum](https://forum.makersmakingchange.com/t/light-touch-switch/55) I took the Fusion 360 design for the Light Touch Assistive Switch and modified it to have the wire come out either end, that way you can chose when assembling the switch. Building Notes -------------------- Use build instructions from the original [Light Touch Assistive Switch](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3635621) for instruction on how to solder the switch. When assembling the switch with the wire coming out the hinge side, the 3mm rod (in this case a wooden skewer) doesn't go all the way through, it's blocked by the wire. Put in the skewer from one side as far as it will go and cut it, then do the same on the other side. The cap is held on securely and doesn't come off. If you're still worried, you can put a little super glue around the edges of the skewer on both sides, this will hold it securely and doesn't affect the movement of the switch.
