GPi Case Custom Shoulder Button - Paddle Style

This is a square paddle version of the shoulder buttons as part of my custom button series for the GPi case. This replaces the L and R buttons on the back of the case with a slightly pronounced paddle for more comfort for larger hands.

This design has a specific L and R model, both included above, as well as the peg that gets glued into the slot of the button. I've designed this a direct replacement piece, pop out the old shoulder buttons, glue the peg into the slot on the button, and pop these ones in once the glue dries. If it becomes apparent this isn't self explanatory I can get a video made up at some time and throw it up on YouTube.

As with my previous entries I'm still not a pro in Fusion 360. I feel like I've gotten a bit better but this is still not a perfect design in my opinion.

If you end up selling this design or a remix of it, please don't forget about little old me lol, I can't make you pay me but no one else has decided to do this yet so I'm the only one that's cared enough to do it so far. If you want to use this for yourself by all means please do, that's why I'm putting it up here, I've benefited from many other people's efforts in the Pi space so it's only natural to want to give back in what limited ways that I can. That being said, I've bought things for multiple Pi based projects that are the labors of someone else's work. We're all a community here, lets try not to screw each-other for a quick buck.

Notes:

I did this at .1 mm resolution, 3 walls. Button is on it's side and the pegs are base down /skinny up. I used Hatchbox Grey PLA using generic stock PLA settings but you can do whatever plastics you want. I would suggest printing both buttons and 4-5 pegs all at the same time. The buttons print on their sides with the paddle going straight up so no supports are needed. Don't forget to print both sides, this version of the design has different models for each side.

Print a few more pegs than you need! Once printed, I hit mine with an air gun for a few seconds to clean up any strings. Take the nicest pegs you can and using one tiny drop of super glue put the peg in the slot and hold it snug in there for a few seconds. It's designed to line up perfectly but depending on how well your printer does .1mm there may be play, if so center it as best you can or VERY LIGHTLY sand around the whole base to fit.

I tried to mitigate elephant foot on the pegs because this is a very precise piece. It's a perfect fit for me with no wiggle on my side. There will be a little of this effect on the button, clean it up with an exacto but I put that face down on each of my buttons so you cant see it unless you look up her skirt.
