This is a designed from scratch remix of Matereo's buttonbox https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4567163
I really liked the idea of having hardware buttons to use with octoprint, but the other options didn't quite fit my needs in terms of mounting. Due to space constraints on my printer shelf, I found it preferable to mount the box towards the back of the machine rather than sticking out the front. The design has 2 holes on the side for mounting to 2020 extrusion with T nuts. I also kept the buttons blank and printed out symbols using my label maker. Less pretty but this way it will be easier to change the buttons in the future if I ever want to.There is a slot in the bottom for a ribbon cable.
Hardware:
10 x tactile switches (6x6x6)
4 x M2 heat set inserts + screws
1 x 10 wire ribbon cable with dupont connectors
I have included the step file if wanted for remixing.
