CPVC pipe Battery/Switch holder

thingiverse

My 4 year old daughter wants to be Audrey from Descendants 3 this year for Halloween. All of the Maleficent staff's I found were to tall, and expensive for my taste, especially seeing as how they had no lights or anything. So i told her I would make her one that is her height and would light up and get brighter when she would hit it on the ground, such as when Audrey did spells in the movie. I designed this to fit inside of 1/2" CPVC pipe and use 3 AAA batteries. I used some solid copper wire I had laying around to make the mating rings. (HVAC thermostat wire I'm pretty sure) putting some "bumps" in the ring on the switch side to make it a springy fit. Used the solid core wire in all of the pipe side hardware, but in the switch side hardware I used some 24 AWG wire (out of an old ethernet cable) to attach from the matting ring down to the switch so I could have some more flexibility in working the switch and wire down into place. This thing is a bit of a puzzle to put together in the right order but once it is together it seems to work well. Be warned though once you super glue it your pretty much going to have to just reprint and rebuild if you messed up so I suggest having a multi-meter handy to check that everything is connected or reading what they should before making anything permanent. I used the following parts https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32884289489.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4ea26829UFfipb&algo_pvid=acec11ec-c2ee-434c-9b3e-536828320373&algo_expid=acec11ec-c2ee-434c-9b3e-536828320373-1&btsid=d09524d7-9913-4af4-b055-69c4eb957d6b&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_9,searchweb201603_52 (These battery contacts of course had to be cut to fit but they worked well and having the spring gave some wiggle room for error in the gluing of the threaded piece into the switch end) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32711341102.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.32a818b29jJW2R&algo_pvid=803f5c54-26df-4325-907b-8650a598bdc4&algo_expid=803f5c54-26df-4325-907b-8650a598bdc4-8&btsid=806645d2-9cad-4be8-a598-c5cac7fd896a&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_9,searchweb201603_52 I have included my FreeCad files so if you want to edit anything you will be able to with ease. Be warned though this is really my first real thing I designed myself, so it maybe a mess in there to someone who is good at designing things. Sorry I didn't take pictures of the items before assembly, but how was I supposed to know for sure it would work without putting it together lol. I also want to apologize, for some reason there is a TON of image files when you download the zip and some of them aren't even mine. I will be reaching out to thingiverse for help fixing it unless someone else has experienced this issue and can help me.
