I created a toddler controlled light switch based off of my dog controlled light switch. Some people were concerned about the safety of this switch so it no longer uses string.
Supplies I Used
- 1/4 in. wooden poll
- 3-D printed parts
Tools I Used
- Tinkercad
- 3D printer
Design

Started by designing the switch plate. I started a rectangle then rounded it cut it in half and pushed it down a little. Then added hole for switch. Added screw holes. Next I added a lever to it to turn it light on and off. Then I created A sphere and pulled it up to create an oval shape cut cylinder hole through it.
