It was also really important to me to get an inline fuse in there, because why wouldn't you with how easy it is to do. Fits this standard style of fuse holder

The top shell has a supporting cylinder for a button extension, and a tunnel for some clear filament to act as a lightpost for the LED on the Sonoff. The top shell has a very thin layer where the lightpost goes to, making it invisible when not illuminated. Really happy with how it turned out

I ended up going with this orientation for the sonoff unit, laying flat, as it let me easily route the wiring and use a stand-off design to rest the toggle switch on top of

Overall I think for space efficiency I'll go vertical. This also lets me make the pairing switch accessible with a printed post or similar button on the shell. To model this into the final switch I roughly recreated the switch in fusion so I can project the lines

The test print was almost perfect, roughly half a mm off position. The posts hold the copper plates in, and the part that contacts with the end of the switch rocker clamps the rocker 'bar' perfectly. Just the switch gap needs to move over a little, .4mm should be enough I think

To get the angle for the circle I used my callipers to find the largest height and width of the circle, marked them, and then used the rocker switch centre line as the baseline for finding the right angle for the switch cutout, 16, since 90 - 74, math, etc, you get it

From here (and in a previous post) I'll be designing the parts needed for a new cover, retaining the existing rocker switch (i'll cut it out, it's already designed and solid, so why not, right?)
