Currently the buttons are designed for minimum after molding hand work. Which is good for a unit produced in the thousands, preferrably millions.

For production in the hundreds where the end user can supply some hand work, (think plastic model kit) It may be preferrable to make the buttons in two parts. A cap and a cup. The end user would trim and cement them together. (something unthinkable in a high volume productions) From the backside they would not look exactly the same. Why should they? We only look at the front side.



sorry about the blinding white background. Is there a way to replace an attachement?

PS. I forgot to mention why. This kind of button can be made with cored straight pull molds. See Protomold's website.
