This is a compact remix version of kriswillcode's Fidget Toggle Switch. It is a little more than 25% smaller than the original, but uses the same mechanism. It has been changed in the following ways:

  1. The side view height of the main case is reduced from 30mm to ~22mm.
  2. There are two unique case halves; you need to print one of each.
  3. To accommodate the smaller case, the bottom connecting posts are round.
  4. The toggle axle post has been converted to an additional connecting post (this is why there are two different halves).
  5. The arced recess, which allows for spring bend has been reduced to accommodate the smaller case, but with no change to the function of the spring mechanism.
  6. The print height of the toggle has been stretched from 8 mm to 8.4 mm; this removes a significant quantity of the side-to-side wiggle or looseness, which gives the switch a better feel (IMO).

Note: the springs are the original springs. I prefer the really soft spring. :)

Also, the soft and really soft springs print upside down. When installing them, flip them around right-side-up, so that the fully flat side is facing or touching the bottom of the toggle. This will make the toggle feel more solid, and have less wiggle or rattle. The orientation of the regular spring won't matter because it is fully flat on both sides.
