The problem

If you have ever installed one of the generic push buttons in a dash or used them to wire up something. And then realized that you have a generic button with no label or anywhere to write a good label for it. Here is a novel idea: print out a cap to put on the button.

This is the style of cheap dash mount button that you might use to replace or wire up a push button starter, horn, or anything that is used to activate a relay circuit of some sort.

So this instructions are as follows: you can import this in to orca slicer, and then select the object and click to add text and subtract the text or symbols from the face of the button.

How to print it

Or you can just print this in TPU as is and use different colors to differentiate the push buttons if you have a bunch of them in your dash.

Included is the openscad model and a stl that fit my buttons (yes the black rubber capped push buttons they sell on amazon, they all seem to be the same size)

The button style has a threaded rubber cap that screws on to a heavy duty cast body, they commonly claim to be for 50A high current capacity buttons for starters, etc.

Hopefully you find this idea useful. If for some reason your cap doesn't fit, you can remeasure and adjust the setting in openscad, or you can directly model shapes and text in openscad.

Good luck!
