3D file for flipper button cabinet protector? Anyone?
I'll try to design one if no one has one but it would be nice to have something to start from.
Do you think PLA will be good enought?
I'm already thinking with a carbon fiber look.

You're thinking of something like this?


I've seen a few people selling those, and it looks like they just get held on by the flipper buttons and the tab under the side rail. In this case, it also looks like a 2-layer thing (rather than being multicolor). I haven't actually designed my own yet, but I've thought about it. Only thing that's a PITA about a shape like that is the bent part at the top. Means either printing it face down (which means the outside is likely to be uglier), or lots of support. Might be a more clever way to do it though.

Exactly what I'm thinking about. I might just try and do like the smaller shaped ones.
Use the button to hold it on.
I think 2mm thick. But not sure.
