BUTTON - ENERGY DOME

<p>Now go out and sew a yellow jacket to go with it!<br><br>This button is easy to print with no support necessary, but it will take a little patience to sew on. &nbsp;It's best to use big loops and slowly make them smaller and tie off with a little whipping to hold the button off the surface a little. &nbsp;Men's jacket buttons are often sewn with this method to allow a bit of “wiggle” - you'll have to make a slightly larger button hole than usual as well, but if you want this button you probably know about that!<br><br>The button is sized at 32L (20mm diameter) which seems about right for the energy it contains!<br><br>Printed at 1.0mm layer height with a 0.4 nozzle. &nbsp;If you wish to make it smaller, scale it in all directions and consider using a smaller nozzle.</p><p>Printed with Prusament Lipstick Red PLA filament and finished with six coats of clear acrylic for some real zap, with no other surface prep.</p><p>The comparison photo with three buttons shows two gloss finished (white and red) and one red one off the printer. &nbsp; The photo unfortunately does not do the gloss ones the justice they deserve, they have a nice smooth feel about them although it's hard to choose which I'd prefer. I think it would depend on the fabric.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>I shouldn't have to add, but I will, &nbsp;that cold or warm wash only will ensure that your buttons remain buttons.<br>&nbsp;</p><p><i>My other buttons may be found here:</i></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/79444-peter-h/collections/110372"><i>https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/79444-peter-h/collections/110372</i></a><br>&nbsp;<br><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/120895/rich_content/51c0fda2-06f7-4236-8671-3915a856f47a/22-01-21-at-14-04-45.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2245284a50-dd91-4316-915a-9e13362390bd%22%2C%22w%22%3A1350%2C%22h%22%3A1080%7D"></p>
