I've got a laser cutter here so building nice cardboard parts should be pretty easy.
You make me feel like a caveman, I didn't even use a ruler, If you make something please tag me, I am curious.
I am leaving this here too, the electronics, dead simple. The nice thing is that the powerbank module I used has a very nice feature, it turns off if the output is shorted or overloaded, but turns on again on a button press. The button is sensitive to pulses greater than 100ms, so it does not interfere with the servo.
this demonstrates a power loss and an overload, the logic only has to recover power, cutting off power to release the servo in a case of overload is done by the power-source, fail proof.

@enaon sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're back!
That's really cool about using a totally unmodified DSD6 - that makes them a really neat little tool!
I was considering making something for Bangle.js that would give it IO (using SWD) but I think realistically it's a bit too pricey to be used in the same way.
I did already look through the forum pictures - thanks! I'll have to give the cardboard + resin approach a try next time I need to make something biggish. I've always quite liked working with fibreglass, but I never considered building cardboard into it! I've got a laser cutter here so building nice cardboard parts should be pretty easy.
