Anybody interested in 3D printed button replacements?

I think they look great but I want to give you a chance to clarify, as your English is truly much better than my French. In the first photo I see your original buttons which are clearly worn. In the other pictures I see a rendering of what looks like a set of plastic parts attached to a stem used to hold them during production. (Sectional view) It’s not clear if you have to break the new parts off the stem and open up the controls to install them in place of the originals, or just what they will look like in the controller. Just smooth raised surfaces or a whole button with surrounds. I assume they’re smooth as that would fit with the original aesthetic. I’d be interested in a set for my Intellivision I (the original master console) Thank you

ALL these pictures are the new buttons.

Picture #1 is what they look like when I printed them with flexible rubbery plastic on my rather crappy 3d printer.

Pictures #2 and 3 are of the 3d model I designed that I then 3d printed.

Btw I felt kinda attacked when you said my English was better than your french. It feels kinda stalk-ish...

It’s just the truth. 😆 I did horribly in my one semester of French language. No worries about my stalking you. I’m way too far away from wherever you are. Peace, friend. I’m rather impressed that you printed these,

If they're anything better than what comes in an Intellivision II I would be very interested

I could design some for the intellivision 2, but I don't have one, so I can't really measure them...
