The Switch Adapted Bubble Blower Fan is a commercial toy modified for use with an assistive switch. The Switch Adapted Bubble Blower may be beneficial to someone who may have difficulty pressing the original small activation button due to its size, location, or required activation force.
Attach an assistive switch with a 3.5 mm plug to the 3.5 mm jack on the toy. When the assistive switch is activated, the toy will generate bubbles.
This is an open-source assistive technology, so anyone is free to build it. All of the files and instructions required to build the Switch Adapted Bubble Blower Fan are contained within this repository. Refer to the Maker Checklist below.
If you would like to obtain a Switch Adapted Bubble Blower Fan , you may submit a build request through the MMC Library Page. The requestor is responsible for the cost of materials and any shipping.
If you have the skills and equipment to build this device, and would like to donate your time to create the switch for someone who needs it, visit the MMC Maker Wanted section.
The Makers Checklist provides an outline of all the steps required to create the switch adapted toy.
The Bill of Materials lists all of the parts and components required to build the device.
Reference the Assembly Guide for the tools and steps required.
