I'm working on modifying a Judge Dredd pinball cabinet into a virtual pinball machine. I want to re-use the coin door I got with the cabinet (despite it being bent up), and also use the coin return buttons as “add credit buttons” that were lit by LEDS. I already have some buttons I can use for this so I just needed a way to make them work with the covers for the coin return buttons. 

Lots of iterations later and voila. 

The plunger replaces the plunger that comes with the buttons. I also don't use the lens or the back cover for the buttons. 

Printing Instructions:

  • .2 mm layer height for best results
  • Use Supports
  • The plunger should be printed on its side. This adds strength to the arms and prevents them from breaking when they flex. They're likely to snap off otherwise. 
  • The bracket should be printed at an angle also, to add strength.  
  • I used PLA (Prusament Vanilla White) which worked great. 
  • I printed at 20% infill

I can't guarantee they will work for everyone. The coin door I have is slightly bent and that may have impacted the angles. If the plunger seems to stick or rub along the edge, try loosening one of the screws slightly.
