Parametric buttons to easily customize the layout of your Kenwood radio's programmable function buttons. 

With up to 11 configurable function buttons, the TK-690, TK-790, and TK-890 are versatile commercial FM radios, that are easily modifiable for use with Amateur Radio.

Unlike the official buttons, these ones have an (optional, enabled by default) slightly wider face, making them easy to replace and move without needing a screwdriver or any other tools. Using OpenSCAD, you can easily adjust the text (including some unicode symbols as used for the Ch▲ and Ch▼ buttons).

I printed mine using Overture Black PETG for the button housing, and Prusament Orange PETG for the button label itself. Translucent or transparent filament for the button housing would also enable backlighting as the original buttons used, though even without that the contrast is very readable. I printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, though a slightly smaller diameter would likely improve the text quality significantly.
