krutknut:
After modification, it looks like this.

The button mod is crude, but works

Crowquill:
Looks good. It makes me wish I'd have finished my Desktop CP.

I was making it to hold me over until I moved my cabinet, but after I moved it the CP project fell by the wayside.

You do know that there are shorter buttons out there, right? Good work on making the button "fit".

I only found shorter 30mm (hole diameter) and 24mm buttons, and my holes are 28 mm.
So, to add one 30mm button I would have to pay for the button, for shipping (expensive, usually) and for a 30mm hole punch. That would be a bit expensive for just one start button.

Are there short 28mm start buttons?

Good point. I guess one other option would be to move the start button and then print a small graphic to cover the hole. From the looks of it your modified button should work fine anyway.

krutknut:
My button mod works very well, so there is no need to move the hole.

But I should either have put the hole a bit to the side, or ordered a shorter button and wider hole punch to begin with. Just because it would have been easier.
