I should probably be immediately hired by Apple, I achieved my peak of evil engineering. One of mounting screws of a switch is accessible only through a hole, where the barrell jack is mounted later. I'm keeping it that way, I don't have any energy to redesign

Oh, did I mention, that the said barrell jack is permanently glued in the least standard-compliant and serviceable way possible? Mwahaha! Also positive terminal on the outside, negative center! Well, the last part is not my fault, it's the polarity of the thing, that my device was designed to power. It's a battery backpack for a Valeton GP-5 guitar/bass pedal. And the glued jack thing is because I failed at measuring the thread. It was supposed to be screwed in. #guitarpedal #basspedals #diy_electronics
