Hey,
Today was a relaxing day full of working on projects and playing Halo Infinite. I started off the day by printing out two more pieces of the halo helmet project while waiting for the FASFA site to not have maintenance going on. It was kinda wonky cause it said maintenance was going on during "June 19th". I'm thinking to myself, "Wait a minute, it's the 26th!?".
After getting through those two things, I worked on fixing a push-button light I bought at a thrift store. You can see a picture of it down below. It was only a dollar, so I thought it would be a fun side project. The first trouble we ran into was I didn't have any AA batteries, which it needed 4 of to operate. To solve this without spending more money, I resoldered the wires to a 9V. I don't know how stable of an option this is, but for right now, it works expertly. No explosions, yet fingers crossed!
Then putting the button back together was HELL. This was due to the springs constantly falling out and the screws being stripped (They were stripped when I got it). However, after all of that, we now have it working. I might use it in a 3D print or cosplay in the future.
