This allows you to use the visible part of the original eject button and just replace the part that breaks.

For Amiga 1000 with the original Panasonic / Matsushita JU-363 drive.

Print with an ABS-like resin or similar.

Cut the original button as shown in the picture and file the base flat. The repair piece should be a push fit and once the drive is reinstalled in the case everything should stay together.

Edit 1: Also check out thing 6512590 on thingiverse. Although listed as for early 500s, it looks like the same button and the repair piece looks more suitable for FDM printing, though it may not be suitable for drives that have the reed switch magnet behind the button.

Edit 2: I've also successfully repaired these buttons by acetone welding in pieces of plastic cut from a beige floppy disk. If you're just missing part of one of the tabs this is probably worth trying before cutting up your button.
