Mac 128k/512k/Plus Interrupt/Reset Buttons

Early compact macs have NMI and Reset buttons on the logic board, but are not accessible by default. They need some plastic buttons mounted on the case to poke through and press the buttons on the logic board. These buttons are made of plastic that seems to get brittle as it ages, making them a bit fragile these days. They also break if you forget to remove them prior to attempting to open the machine's case.

Since a lot of mine have started to break, I decided to attempt to recreate a functional replacement for 3D printers before all mine broke. Here's the result:

The buttons themselves are a little rough in the picture above, since I printed this with all the supports on the button side, and oriented it vertically. Altering the orientation and supports should fix that. But it's totally functional.
