WARNING: This is a "Proof of Concept" design, use at your own risk. I have no formal electrical engineering training, and this has not been tested at all for safety. This should only be used with low voltage, non-critical hobby projects. If you do something stupid like connect this to a wall outlet you will shock yourself and/or burn your house down. Ok, now the fun stuff. This is a small electronic rocker toggle switch that be constructed using only 3D printed parts, plus the wires that it connects. It also does not require any soldering. Most of the time you should just go buy some proper switches for your projects, but this can be used as a temporary solution while you're waiting for those to get shipped to you. It should work well with 20 gauge wire or smaller. In addition to using a bit of extra hookup wire to create the metal contacts, this can use several alternative common conductive objects, such as:Paper ClipAluminum Foil and tape/glueCopper tapeWire pulled out of
