Guitar Pickup Button Adapter V2

<p>This is an update of my first design: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1087912">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1087912</a></p> <p>UPDATE: The little retainer kept getting lost or broken. Redesigned to eliminate the retainer and to make it smaller and lighter. It now snaps onto the pickup button.</p> <p>This is an adapter for a guitar pickup button. Generally, because the 1/4" (6mm) plug for the guitar cable goes through the middle, the outer diameter of the strap button is much larger than normal. This makes using a stock guitar strap a pain. You can either cut the button hole bigger in the strap end, or use an adapter. This one is easy to print (about 6 minutes) and is easy to use.</p> <p>To install, slip the larger circle over the pickup button, and pull until the smaller diameter is seated in the pickup button. I had to loosen my strings and pull the pickup back through the sound hold to adjust the inner nut. Not fun, especially with a 12 string. (Use an old guitar string to guide it back to the sound hole, and then back out through the end hole on the lower bout if that should occur.)</p> <p>Still not a bad idea to use rubber strap locks with this setup.</p> <p>Make sure you test your work before using! You do not want weak parts which equals guitar on the floor. It is your responsibility!</p> <p>I used eSun black PETG, 235 C, and 50% cooling, .25mm layers, 20% fill on an Orig.
