Alright, so the first print shows promise, but also decidedly did not "just work". For one it is technically impossible to assemble, a rookie mistake. I actually broke a piece of the momentum-switch slide assemble it. Separate from that, I need to buy a better toggle switch. The first one broke surprisingly easily and the other two of it's 3 pack were DOA. Not all toggle switches are created equal.

The folding arms work nicely, if a bit snug in their "snap" closure. A feature to hold them in the "deployed" position would help in mounting it onto the paracord.

Over all I'm actually quite pleased and like enough of the core ideas have been validated that I'm *probably* not going down a dead end road.
