Making the Trigger Mech
I used a 4 layer harden paper, cut out 5 of the pieces and glue them together with superglue. Make sure you hammer the part after applying a layer of paper to compact the layers.
After glueing the layers together sand down the parts (cut off excess) and apply a thin coat of super glue to further harden the parts and water proof it.
