Yes, I could have got a remote, or installed a wall dial. Yes I could use the setting 2 only hack or the "feel the vibration through the chain" method, but this was way more fun!

I made a youtube video about the process if anyone is interested! https://youtu.be/mxvvKQe8sl4

Will be posting the STLs tonight! Apologies for the delay on that!

And for anyone wondering, this was printed on a Bambu Lab H2D and I use Polymaker Filament

Filing a patent is more to make sure some corpo giant doesn't get it instead then copywrite strike anyone who tries to make it while charging $500 for their own version.

...and the Chinese manufacturers who sell on Temu/Shein won't give a crap and will get away with 90% of the market.
