A Job for a 3D Printer

[gertsy]

Just thought of a job for a 3D printer.  

I have half a dozen spare modified floppy drives which have the "standard" little eject button positioned in the "standard location" on the front. They are only Panasonic and Sony so not a large range in so far as connection configuration. Replacement buttons for the Amiga 500 and A1200 to fit these drives would be a godsend.

Anyone thought of that before?  Did a quick search but couldnt find anything.

Wow, it seems such a thing exists for the Amiga 3000: http://www.shapeways.com/model/310385/amiga-3000-disk-drive-eject-button.html

Only found this one: http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45910

I've printed bits and pieces for my machines using Shapeways' services. Might do an eject button for the A1000 next. If there are just accurate enough measurements somewhere I can make a design for the A1200 one too (are there many variations of the A1200 or A500 eject buttons?)

The position on the 1200 and 500, will always be the same the variation will come from the floppy drive type.  But I suppose there are more popular Floppies for conversion.
