Description
I was installing a fire/action button on the lockdown bar of my virtual pinball machine. I realized that I didn't have a nut the right size to use to secure it to the lockdown bar, or a washer that would work with that. I decided not to wait until I could get one and made my own.
This is the button I used. https://www.pinballlife.com/cabinet-flipper-button-transparent-1-18-shaft.html
It holds fine, but if you aren't careful the tabs will break easily. Once it's set, don't mess with it if you don't have to.
I printed .15mm resolution, no supports needed.
Printing at 100% infill seemed to help the strength of the tabs.
