Instructions
1. Decide if you want recessed or raised buttons and download the appropriate .stl.
2. Print using Print-O-Matic settings, 100% fill, 0 shells and raft (support = none).
3. After the raft has completed and it's started printing the first real layer note the Z Position, on my printer it's 1.41mm. Now add 5.7mm (the height to the start of the text) = 7.11mm, and hit the cancel button. Choose Pause At ZPos and enter 7.11mm.
4. When printing automatically pauses, use the X/Y/Z Jog to move the build away from the platform, then use Rev/Fwd to change your filament color. Then hit cancel to finish the print.
If altering the design with OpenScad. Be aware that the text derivative: thingiverse.com/thing:6844 has issues with backslashes that stop compilation. So you will need 6844Fixed.zip and TTG4Buttons.scad.
