Description
just a simple scalable button with a curved round edge and four holes. scale, print as many as you need, then sew them on your clothing or bags or furnishings. update: see instructions.
Instructions
update: added button07, slightly thicker than the last button. this took a lot of tweaking of skeinforge to print well, even after the calibration of my machine. to maybe help someone else's tweaking, i added the gcode i used with the best print of button07 on my batch 8 makerbot with a heated build platform (hardwired to 12V), with a mk4 plastruder, raftless.

Have you successfully printed this? I have a parametric button design (with some fun additions), but I've been sitting on it until I have a successful print to show off.

Since the advent of MakerBots

amp; etc, why do buttons need to have 2 holes or 4 holes? 2 or 4 holes are related to automated machine installation. Why not 3 or 5, etc as it pushes designs to be more soulcraft.

Neat, I designed and printed a similar button (less curvy) and it came out fine in silver PLA:
