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.

Agree with Eric here. Thanks so much for posting this!
I really wanted to swap out the buttons in my switches, but I don’t have the desire to buy a 3-D printer. I ordered 3 sets of buttons, enough to cover every switch in my house.

Excellent. The more I deal with your company, the more I love it. Products, support, and community. Whatever works for your community, works for your business.
Keep doing what you do. I’ll keep buying.

No rules broken! My model on Thingiverse was licensed under creative commons to include the opportunity for people to use it commercially. Did you make any adjustments @kareem613?

I checked that first thing. No adjustments to the model itself, but I combined it into a set of 10.
Fitment should be identical.
Updated the listing with attribution. I realized I only did that here in this thread and should in the listing itself as well.
Half of these posts deserve its own Thread and made sticky IMHO. This is just awesome…
Also, if you don’t have a 3D printer but want some low-profile buttons, it might be worth checking out your local library (after the quarantine is over). My library has a 3D printer lab, and will help you print things for free.
Awesome! I just picked some up as well! Thanks!
