It is projects like these that lure us lurkers out of hiding. Brilliant creativity and excellent workmanship!
This, sir, would be a contour tool.

I hate HP. Yet here I am, using a HP G60 Series notebook with an HP desktop sitting at my home desk.... But the best part is that it was all free. Now slowly switching to Dell stuff!
Re: Hp Res 3 Mega
Cheers brouhaha tyvm mate
Thanx all for the great comments!
Part2
The CDROM switch mechanism needs to connect to a switch! i chose a micro switch, similar to the one CDROMS use!
The joining switch connector needs to be a disconect-able from the main mech, Again using clear tube heres what i came up with.
Ive cut a castle device to hold the micro switch
The castle gets pressed into a larger tube and the 2 are glued as one.
An old HDD activity loom + plug are recycled and used.
The micro switch and wires are pressed in.
As can be seen the two units can be fitted togther as one!

Re: Hp Res 3 Mega
The unit needs to have a locking device! a doweled keyway design is used.... much like a press fit lightbulb.
The switch is hot glued secure
Then it's a push
And a twist locks it all together!

Re: Hp Res 3 Mega
A simple soloution is used to connet to the CDROM
Hard to see.. but a paper clip is cut into 2 small pins.
With the base of the cdrom removed to the cut pins are tinned and soldered directly to the eject pins on the board
The idea of this method rather than direct soldering is that i now can have a "removable" option .. much like on your motherboard.
the best can be secured again and the unit flipped over. The 2 connecting pins stick neatly out from the cdrom and can be easily connected to.
a final and action shot !

Re: Hp Res 3 Mega
Necessity is the mother of invention, and that Sir is just bloody clever. Never would have thought to use a paper clip to extend the leads and in turn have a removable connection for easy swaps.
Re: Hp Res 3 Mega
