Instructions
Using jetty's spectacular new firmware, thingiverse.com/thing:15380, simply set a "Pause at ZPos" for 1.0mm in order to change color.
I recommend printing with zero extra shells, 100% infill and zero Infill Perimeter Overlap. Infill Perimeter Overlap is important with less infill, but for solid parts, it'll just overfill and deform the object.

FYI, on a ToM the Pause@ZPos should be "0.9mm" for a 0.3mm layer height.

I tried a few iterations of the attachment, beginning with similar to the existing buttons, but everything was either too tight or too loose. Eventually figured out that a circle would touch the 4 corners only, and the ridges on the plastic would grip it. Simpler is the solution most of the time
:-)
I printed mine with -2.5 instead -2.0 (if you look the photo it looks very centered :D):
module cButton(){
difference(){
buttonCube();
translate([-1,-2.5,height])check();
}}
Now even your granma can print the lunch's bread by itself 8-)
They look gorgeous! the only detail I find is about the "ok" tick is not centered in the y axis O:-)
