shoulder button tester

using build123d is fun because you can make things parametric, and it seemed obvious that of all the parts to this build, shoulder buttons would require the most fussing with parameters.

so i made a shoulder button tester that would be similar to the case in the upper right corner, but would allow faster iteration in case i needed to change the enclosure and button. here's a first pass on the design:

of course i couldn't help over building it, but i'll be able to use the crenelations for the real enclosure as well.

looks like i'll have to be careful with keyboard + shoulder button overlap. hmm

[edit] i think having an internal stopper will work better for our case, so we can minimize the number of things moving around inside the case where they might not be desired. this column (and where it can move in the negative space) will stop the shoulder button from exiting the device, but could also be engineered to reduce force on the internal button after a certain point.
