Customizable Button

thingiverse

This is a simple utility for crafting your very own buttons! The concept for this tool came from the disheartening realization that nobody ever seems to have the button they require. Yes, everyone has a multitude of spare buttons at their disposal, but we can never seem to locate the right ones when we need them. Enter: The Button Maker. With this customizer, you can fine-tune your basic button, adjusting its thickness, diameter, how substantial and how tall its trim is (if you want it to have a trim at all!), how many holes it should have, and more! Best of all, the customizer handles all the complex trigonometry for you, so you know your button will be laid out perfectly! Have fun, and get creating loads of buttons for your family, friends, relatives, neighbors, mail carriers, passersby... Post-Printing Rounding Your Buttons In the future, I will be adding an option that will enable the app to automatically add rounded edges to your buttons. In the meantime, however, if you want a rounded button, simply print the unsightly not-round monstrosity, and sand the edges lightly with a high-grit sandpaper. Remember when you do this that a little goes a long way! Be cautious not to over-sand! Changelog [04/12/2016] Customizer controls have been grouped by purpose [04/11/2016] Original upload
