Cut down the small part that moves up and down the stick imma call it a pusher. Dont cut it as much as I did leave some lip on the part

Get half a pen spring and hot glue it to the bottom and at the other end glue the push button

put the cell in and button pusher into the housing and mark the points at which the pushers wings are when the button is pressed and make cuts in the side such that when you twist the stick the wings enter the cut sections

use capton tape on the ends of the cell and hot glue the switch to the cell, feed the wires through the holes on the pusher. follow the schematic i used and use a soldering iron

Put all the components in the housing cell first then the switch and pusher then the laser and jst.

Put on the twist outer part and use hot glue to secure the laser to the inner housing
