I’ve been teaching myself Fusion 360 and was toying with the idea of doing exactly that. Would love to see your model.
I’d be interested in the file, that looks great.
I’m out of town through the weekend but will get the design file for the config button dispersed. It may be easiest for everyone if I put it on thingiverse (although I’ve never done that so it could create more problems than simply sending it individually!). I’ll let everyone know.

I’d be interested also in having a file to get a few 3D printed. I’m hitting the config button on accident as well and it’s only a matter of time before my wife complains about it. 
I can put it on thingiverse if you have not already

I uploaded the files to Thingiverse and the link is below. I included the ‘flush’, 1mm, and 1.7mm height files. In addition, the file for the original config button is included if people would like to utilize that.
Let me know if you note something that could use improving and I’ll try to help out. New to 3d printing and designing so tips and suggestions are welcome.
Note: if you install one of the printed buttons and need to remove it, it will likely get some dents in it (from my experience) due to the PLA being softer. But they’re so easy to print it shouldn’t be a problem. Just an FYI.

Thanks very much. This will come in handy. Cheers!
Hi flipontheradio,
Question: how did you get the button out of the frame?
I have removed the frame from the switch, but can’t get the button out. I tried lightly prying between the frame and button, in case there is a ledge that it snaps into. But I didn’t want to crack it.
Can you offer any advice?
Thanks!
just push hard on the config button in the direction you would using it, it takes some force to push it out since there is a resistance piece beside it to keep it from falling out.
I used a small flat head screw driver to very carefully pry the button up and out. It’s requires very little force and even pushing on the button as you do it from the front side helps it slip out.

Thanks so much for these. They are working great in my testing of different sizes. I chose the black on white look. Mostly because I didn’t want to change out my filament.

Be cooler with a clear configuration button with LED behind there.

Glad they’re working for you! Let me know if you note any changes that might be worth trying. I haven’t had a chance to do many test prints after the designing.
That black on white looks great!
Terk, Greg,
Thanks for the feedback! That’s kind of what I was expecting, but wanted expert confirmation; I didn’t want to force it, especially since they don’t have white replacements!
I would love for a product like this. I keep hitting the config button at the same time. I tried buying a 3D printer but the wife shut it down. Anyone up for making 30 or so of these for me?
If you remove the config button and put it in a vise they file down very quickly with a flat file like
For those that don’t have a 3D printer or don’t want to modify their existing buttons, I have an alternate option here.
I created a model based on @P53’s model. It’s just a 10-pack version of it for cheaper printing on Shapeways. I tried it out. Ten buttons (1 print) cost from $6-12 depending on the finish and color you choose. I made all the options available. I only personally tried out the white premium plastic and it came out really nice.
Not sure exactly if this breaks any rules. Mods, let me know if it does or delete. Just trying to offer an option for some until there’s an official offering.
