GPi Case Custom Shoulder Button - Basic SNES Style

thingiverse

This is a basic SNES-style version of the shoulder buttons as part of my custom button series for the GPi case. This replaces the L and R buttons on the back of the case with a profile modeled after an 8BitDo SNES controller making it easier to find and press but not changing the feel of the case as a whole much. This design works for both sides so only one model is included for the button, as well as the peg that gets glued into the slot of the button. I would suggest when you print however to flip one button to the other side in your slicer, this keeps the "printed side" down for each when you put them in the case. I've designed this a direct replacement piece, pop out the old shoulder buttons, glue the peg into the slot on the button, and pop these ones in once the glue dries. If it becomes apparent this isn't self explanatory I can get a video made up at some time and throw it up on YouTube. As with my previous entries I'm still not a pro in Fusion 360. I feel like I've gotten a bit better but this is still not a perfect design in my opinion. See the paddle shoulder buttons here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3812331 If you end up selling this design or a remix of it, please don't forget about little old me lol, I can't make you pay me but no one else has decided to do this yet so I'm the only one that's cared enough to do it so far. If you want to use this for yourself by all means please do, that's why I'm putting it up here, I've benefited from many other people's efforts in the Pi space so it's only natural to want to give back in what limited ways that I can. That being said, I've bought things for multiple Pi based projects that are the labors of someone else's work. We're all a community here, lets try not to screw each-other for a quick buck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------V3 - Update!! 8-13-2019---------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- New design is ready and prints off MUCH better looking, so much so that I've deleted V2 models and pictures. The new model is a two part process so the button can be printed on it's side and look much cleaner while the peg prints fat part down. This removes all supports and brims from the equation and makes a much cleaner final product. See pictures for the updated results. Again, this is a large step over V2 so I deleted that model and everything associated with it, if you downloaded on day one please do so again to get the better model.
