step-by-step button cap #3DThursday #3DPrinting

One of the schools I work with makes heavy use of these step-by-step jelly bean buttons. They run into a fairly consistent problem though of the button being accidentally pressed when it’s in a bag or when a remote switch is being used, so I came up with these magnetic caps. You’ll need 3 5mm disc magnets if you want the cap to hold itself on, but it should friction fit pretty well without them.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
