Wacom Intuos 3 Buttons (SLA & FDM)
Description
These are replacement buttons for the Wacom Intuos 3 pen. These are for SLA and MSLA resin printers, and flat versions for FDM printers. The FDM versions REQUIRE a 0.2mm nozzle. Comes in four versions: "WacomButton_SLA_Tabs-SWF" is an exact copy of the original button. Use this button if your pen housing still has the tiny silver tabs intact on the inside. "WacomButton_SLA_NoTabs-SWF" is an exact copy of the original button, but for pens where the tiny silver tabs inside the pen housing have broken off. There's no fixing those extremely tiny tabs so don't even bother trying. If one of your internal tabs is broken, carefully file both of them down with a jewelers file, and blow out any dust with compressed air. "WacomButton_FDM_Tabs-SWF" is intended for FDM printers with a 0.2mm nozzle and a 0.12mm layer height. It does not have the angles so that it can be printed flat.

I printed them on a Form 2 with ApplyLabWork Tan modeling resin mixed with a dash of Spring (flexible rubber) resin. Generally the button should be rigid but not so stiff that it can easily shatter. Making it slightly softer than the pen housing will also help prevent the tiny tabs inside the housing from breaking over time, which happens often with these pens; better that the printed button wears out than the irreplaceable tabs. Rant: Not a single person on Thingiverse (or elsewhere) has taken the time to sit down and properly CAD the real Wacom Intuos 3 button. It's kind of appalling and infuriating just how bad all the buttons on here are. I printed and tried a few of them, and even tried making my own design based off of them, but it was wasted effort since they are all missing a VERY important feature... There's actually a super-tiny "teeter-totter" feature on the center peg that gives the button a lever-like action that not a single person here has drawn. This is why the models here on Thingiverse generally only activate the switches when pressing directly over them, and thus feel strange and unintuitive, making clicking a hit-or-miss situation.
