Breadboard Button Adapter

thingiverse

This project takes one small breadboard lab button and enlarges it into a larger size. The enlarged button may be slightly loose, so I added extra space to ensure it fits smoothly without getting stuck. If needed, the top hole can always be made narrower. button_case is the case itself button_inset screws into the case from underneath button_button is the actual mechanical button To assemble this project: 1. Print the three parts separately (using different colors for button_case and button_button for a more polished look). 2. Solder thin wires onto the mechanical button, as thicker ones won't fit through the holes. 3. Slide the wires through the inset's holes; the button should slide into place easily. 4. Attach the printed button top to the button (there's a mounting hole on the button where the tip fits). 5. Slide the case over it, ensuring the button doesn't fall off the mounting hole, and screw it in securely. 6. If the button won't click, try rotating the button piece slightly since the mechanical button needs to be adjusted to a specific angle for proper functioning. 7. There's a hole at the bottom of the case where wires can slide through. Let me know if this project works for you!
