If it's overly tight, print it with a lower infill and number of perimeters and vice versa, or put it on and off to a spare hat switch a few times until it widens a bit. When you feel that it's safe to put it on, put it on the soldered hat switch. | ||

+ | If you ever happen to break the hat switch, it can be replaced in a couple of minutes! This lever is perfect maintenance-wise as everything can be pulled apart really quickly. | ||

+ | If you've chosen to make a lever with the base extension slot, solder the 4-wire i2c cable as shown in the picture below. You can solder it directly to your base extension of choice, or add an RJ-45 plug so you can connect stuff easily later. | ||
