Winwing F/A-18 throttle slew button

The TDC slew button on the Winwing F/A-18 throttle is too big. This makes the button impossible to press when slewing, or does not cover the whole motion area. See for example this thread on the DCS forum: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/241463-tdc-slew-depress/ I had the issue where the button had very limited motion when depressed. I printed one that is slightly smaller, and now I have full motion when both depressed and not depressed. I have not tested the version I uploaded here. I first printed one, but the hole was slightly too small. I used a bore to make it larger, but have tried to fix it in the version here. Also, the hole I initially made was a little too shallow, so I made it deeper here. There is a slight possibility that this will cause the same issue as the original button. If you have any issues with this button, please inform me, and I can easily fix it. The original button can be removed by simply pulling it straight out. I removed mine by pushing from behind the button hat with two small screwdrivers. I've included the Fusion 360 file so you can modify it to your liking.
