Git Gud Button

Description
Expanding off of the print button (https://www.printables.com/model/597318-print-button), This button has design features allowing for the use of a squeaker and/or printable springs.
The size of squeaker you'd need is 35mm in diameter. Here's a link to the ones I purchased for reference, though I doubt you'd want 120 of them (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RBQFLFT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1)
The squeaker has enough of a spring to push the button back up, but if you want to also add the printable springs for stabilization, that's another option.
I found that printing the button top on its side with supports yielded the best quality to accommodate the curves.
The springs have built-in support that is removable after printing.
To assemble:
- Using glue, attach the print letters to the top of the button
- Using glue, attach 3 button clips to the bottom of the button top
- Place springs and/or squeaker in their designated spots in the button bottom.
- Position the button top on top of the Print Button Case
- While trying to keep the Print Button as level as possible, finesse the top down into the Print Button Case until you feel the tabs snap in place. It's okay if one tab goes in before the others. Just try to ensure all 3 tabs are all started inside the Print Button Case before proceeding to press the button all the way down.
I'm still very new to 3D modeling so any feedback is welcome.
