| Hootswitch, a (work-in-progress) Apple Desktop Bus switch | |
| Posted by: nathall on 2026-04-14 01:36:40 Yeah, that guy’s a real piece of work. I realize you came here specifically to respond to it, but I again strongly promote the use of the forum’s “Ignore” function. | |
| Posted by: saybur on 2026-04-14 06:24:10 Just stop it. I would like to chat about this unimportant little project in peace, not watch a pointless mud-slinging contest that saps the little patience I have with the (lack of) forum moderation. Let's stay on topic. Please. | |
| Posted by: saybur on 2026-04-17 18:48:28 Bluetooth support should now be (somewhat) ready for general use. Still quite experimental so let me know if you try it out. Release is here: https://github.com/saybur/hootswitch/releases/tag/v20260417 | |
| Posted by: shirsch on 2026-05-11 18:04:59 I used OpenSCAD with the 'YAPP' template to design a box for my O.G. Hootswitch.   Here are the sources and a 3mf if anyone would like to print up their own. My Prusa Mk4S was having some first-layer issues, so ignore the uneven finish on the top. | |
| Posted by: saybur on 2026-05-12 06:36:09 This looks great, thanks for sharing! I'll do a print here soon to try it out, I'm getting tired of mine bouncing around without a case 😆 | |
| Posted by: shirsch on 2026-05-12 07:14:04 I should mention that the round button extension must be removed in order to get the PCB positioned over the internal locating pins. You can push it back on afterwards. | |
| Posted by: KennyPowers on 2026-05-12 08:12:43 I printed @superjer2000's case in some of that PolyMaker platinum-matching PLA awhile back...looks like the little brother of the IIci sitting next to it 🙂  | |
| Posted by: shirsch on 2026-05-12 09:47:19 That looks similar to the case that came with my Hootswitch. On the one I have there was no practical way to fasten the PCB to the bottom (standoffs too small for any screw I had) and the top similarly had no means of keeping it attached. It does look nice, but I needed a different solution. | |
Posted by: superjer2000 on 2026-05-12 12:10:10I printed @superjer2000's case in some of that PolyMaker platinum-matching PLA awhile back...looks like the little brother of the IIci sitting next to it 🙂I think that might have been the case I sent you with the HootSwitch. I say that because the final version had some separation on the leds and I think the Snow White design lines went front to back. I do want to make a couple of further tweaks though to better separate the individual led lights as it's a bit hard right now to see which port is selected. | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2026-05-12 12:38:51 You know, with the WootSwitch being a branch of the HootSwitch, you sure missed an opportunity to call it a SwitchSwitch. 😀 | |
