*Check with your family or friends to see if they have these tools you can borrow before purchasing to save on spending.
We have a limited supply of Banana Pie Accessible Switches by MaxMods available at our shop! Click on the link HERE to be taken to the MaxMods Workshoppe.
You will need an accessible switch to test your toy adaption.
4. Seam ripper & Needle/thread
(for plush toys)
We are selling a limited amount of our Santa's Little Hackers dongle cables on our MaxMods Workshoppe page HERE. You can find them online, but you will have to cut the male end of the cable off and strip and tin the wires. Our dongles are already prepared for you to adapt.
6. Zip-tie
(for strain relief on the dongle once inside the toy.)
(you can also use a binder clip, paper clip, or another set of hands to help you hold the wires so they don't go back into the toy once you've cut them.)
If you purchase a Santa's Little Hackers dongle, you may add two b-connectors to your order. Otherwise, you can purchase these in bulk. We are not able to sell or ship these separately.
