Sholder Buttons

Post by Apis » Thu Apr 04, 2019 10:43 am

Hello Wermy,

I screwed up. I cut my sholder buttons badly and I am in need of fresh ones. I cant be the only one to do this, so I made a post about it so those in the same boat as me can say so.

Wermy, could you please make listing just for sholder buttons for ding-bats like me? Thank you.

It's not like we have just plain extra shoulder buttons they come as part of a set like you got so unless you buy another button set I doubt you will get just L/R.

You could try cutting the holes bigger and using start/select buttons from a GBColor or Pocket

Is it possible for Wermy to order a production run of just the sholder buttons to sell separately fir the 1-5% of people whom are going to do a bad job cutting like me?

They are one piece, so no real way to sell just the L/R buttons. And ordering a run of just the shoulder buttons isn't an option because again, they are one piece so a new mold would need to be made (which costs quite a lot of $$$) and then a minimum order of 500. Sorry you aren't happy with how your cuts turned out but a new set is the only option I'm afraid (DeiselDummy has a pretty good idea above, too).

That was my plan as well. There aren't any problems with the buttons I received from wermy, just wanted to try something different on the second build. I will be modifying wermys drill template for it too.

Nice. Will you upload your modified template file, or sell a 3d printed version of your template by chance?

I noticed how wide the sholder button's copper pad was, and was wondering if a wide sholder button mintypi was possible.
