Garage Door Opener Button

thingiverse

My sweetheart's garage door opener stopped working. When I took it apart I found that the rubber button had broken down and become too squishy to press the switch. I replaced the button with one made from PLA and it works. It differs from the original in that it is rigid instead of soft, but seems to work. Included are the .stl file for slicing, a picture of it installed, and the Fusion 360 .F3d file. Designed in Fusion 360, sliced in Cura, and printed with support on a Monoprice Select Mini in Monoprice PLA in White. This is a picture of the part that this replaces.  Note that it is not an exact copy. That is intentional. The rigid plastic doesn't need a tab to hold it in the correct position. (I fixed our garage door opener for $0.05 instead of buying a new one for $30. 3D printers are awesome.)
