I've been really into fightsticks for a while and finally decided to print a case and hand wire a cheap brook board to get a hitbox/junkbox-esque controller made. My kailh choc switches were taking so long to ship out, so I decided to use some regular gateron switches I had lying around. 

I wanted a really simple button to adapt to a regular cherry style mechanical keyboard stem and couldn't find a button model that worked for me. I designed a really simple one that doesn't use too much filament (although the sound could potentially be better with thicker walls). I designed these to use with micahcerrone's 3D Printable Hitbox Controller, so thanks to him for his design!

I have made 2 different button types based on thickness of the cherry-style stem. I noticed that box style switches (like kailh box switches) were rubbing up against the stem and causing unnecessary friction/stickiness. I haven't done extensive testing, and the filament I used still needs to be tuned, so my buttons came out a bit bumpy and stringy, so that could be a factor that you may not run into. I would just say to use the thin stem variation for box switches, and thick stem should work for anything else. Enjoy!

 

EDIT: Added a V2 for the thin stem variation with a larger bevel, slightly thicker walls, and a thicker stem such that it works perfectly for box switches. I would recommend using that for any switch.
