My mom gave me her rolling suitcase because the button was broken in half.  The bag got damaged more last time I flew.  This is the third version of the button and it's as good as I can make it.  Tolerances are tight for smooth operation, make sure your printer is dimensionally accurate.  I print it with the button facing up, although on the side might be stronger.

Please note replacing the button can't fix a problem with the locking mechanism down inside the handle.  Some times buttons get broken because the suitcase got kicked around or dropped and a stuck locking mechanism encouraged the owner to mash on the handle button really-really hard…   ask me how I know   ;-)

Unexpected bonus is that now it's super easy to spot my luggage on the carousel after the flight, just print your button in a bright color and you'll be able to spot your bag from far away!

Good luck and happy travels!
