Custom eject button for ALPS DF354H floppy drive

thingiverse

This is the model of the custom eject button for the ALPS DF354H floppy drive. Such drives can easily be installed in Panasonic FS-A1WX, FS-A1WSX and Turbo-R MSX computers to replace original drives that often have faulty rubber belts. Those belts frequently break, making it a good idea to install a PC drive instead. The custom button replaces the original drive's button that cannot be used because of the specific form of the computer case. The case has pre-cut holes for the original drive's eject button and diskette. So, the PC drive needs the custom button to avoid modifications to the computer case. The 3D printed button is installed onto the eject lever of the drive in the same way as the original button. See post-print instructions for more information. I am including the model of the assembled button for reference. Printing this model is not recommended because removing supports from small holes inside the button will be difficult.
