            <title>Lego Compatible Disc Buttons</title>

            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1005"><img src="http://thingiverse_beta.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/b1/d4/ff/d4/69/3918189546_75bc07512a_o_preview_large.jpg" alt="Lego-Compatible Makerbot Printed Buttons" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/>Lego-Compatible Makerbot Printed Buttons</div><div>How do you make a great idea like Makerbot-printable (clothing) buttons better?<br />
<br />
Why, make them Lego Compatible!  Naturally.<br />
<br />
Update 2009/10/04:   In the design files, the knobs are 5mm in diameter.  I remeasured my source Lego disc after getting back some Shapeways test prints and the Lego knobs are actually closer to 4.8mm in diameter.  I lucked out with my MakerBot-printed buttons; shrinkage brought them down to about 4.9mm in diameter.  The Shapeways printed versions are more accurate, 5.00mm diameter, +/- 0.05mm.  There's enough give in the plastic materials for them to still fit 'regulation size' lego blocks, but the metal one was simply too wide a diameter.<br />
<br />
Update 2009/11/07: I've been playing around with OpenSCAD (http://www.openscad.org/) and came up with the attached DiscButton_20091107 variation.  I even added bottom "sockets" to this variation.  It's almost too easy when it's all code!<br />
<br />
