This is a Remix of thing:3391307. I re-made the electrical switch box to fit a much more popular small electronics switch. This switch is called a "Mini boat rocker switch" On amazon. LINK: https://www.amazon.com/DIYhz-Environmental-Protection-Electrical-Products/dp/B07BPKZ2RG/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1V0ARC6TLA3OK&keywords=mini+rocker+switch&qid=1706621287&s=industrial&sprefix=mini+rocker+switch%2Cindustrial%2C73&sr=1-8

I also re-made the 9v battery holder / case. The original one was much too large/sloppy so I re-made it with tighter tolerances using fusion 360 and now the 9v batt fits snug.

As you will see from the photos of my Mini Leaf Blower build, I built the leaf blower with the blower body upside down from the original maker as this allows you to mount the switch on top of the blower housing instead of having to mount it on the side which is goofy and less realistic

I also mounted the 9V battery box directly under the leaf blower housing as this gets the battery out of the way and uses less wire to complete the build.

The leaf blower handle I used was a previous remix of this design thing:3735323 which worked great especially when assembling the blower housing upside down like I did.(Makes much more sense IMO and sits more stable on its own too)

Hopefully this helps anybody who is doing this build so you don't have to struggle figuring out the original switch, Battery mount, and locations like I did.

Notes:

Both the 9v battery box + the switch mount can be easily hot glued to the blower housing of the original model.
(Use the rocker switch I provided an amazon link for above if you don't already have one)

PS. I HOT GLUED ALL OF THE BLOWER PARTS TOGETHER AND IT IS PLENTY STRONG (THIS MADE THE BUILD GO QUICKER/EASIER AND WAS LESS TIME CONSUMING!)
