I like it. It also serves as a kind of safety for accidental firing.

Can do, but proper Lume paint is hell of expensive, and won't last long on the Fire button
Yip, I agree. Should we not do the same for the other buttons - as a safety for accidental activation. Or will that be an overkill or too expensive? Also, if that is adequate safety for the firing button, we could move it back to where you had it, especially if better for wiring (the less and shorter wiring the better methinks) and firing with the thumb?
darn someone saw my silly post. got my dimensions confused, ignore my silly rambling
Good suggestion for other buttons as well, wire length on this short distance not really an issue (more than 100mm, yes than we have to go thicker wires on high current carrying wires). I've never operated a box mod, so I can't comment on that issue.
We have a bit more "vleis" on the top section than the side section. If we want to put the button back and recces all the buttons, we have to thicken the side of the casing and it will increase in width. I can do that, but then we must be shure that this is what we want to do. It will have to increase by 2mm to accommodate the switch and recces. Must I go ahead? Also, there will not be enough space for such a big recces around the bottom buttons so I will have to update the recces on the fire button to look symmetrical to the up/down buttons.
found a box almost the exact same size as the given dimensions. button on top is a wee bit akward to get to with thumb, nice and relaxed push action when used form side, just worried lower part of hand will press bottom buttons the whole time
Awesome @denizenx ! That makes sense. What if we put the up/down switches on top?
No, the recces fire button on the side and the up/down buttons on top.
or screen a little lower with the 2 buttons slightly above the screen, so from top to bottom, fire button, adjust buttons then screen ?
Ok that makes sense
@Matthee, I work at a architectural office so we dont have our own 3D printer. We usually send our stuff off to Gavin at Rapid 3D in PMB. They also have offices in JHB if im not mistaken. His Email address is gavin@rapid3d.co.za
Yep, his quote was R.1300-00 and R.2400
Joh! Luckily I dont see the quotes, I just see the finished product. I will talk to some other Architects and see if they know of anybody that can do it for a better price.
Nope, if I understand correctly then you would have to increase the width by 2 mm? Methinks we must not go a mm wider than is. Rather then have all the buttons on top with the fire button nearest to the thumb to avoid accidental touching of the up/down buttons - good point @denizenx. All buttons recessed. With the buttons on top one can also hold the mod almost completely in your hand, which is not the case otherwise - see denizenx's model. Or am I missing something. Think we must have patience with this, it is important.
Sorry, it was @andro that offered do do it for free. My mistake.
just remember my hands are not exactly standard man size hands, a little smaller than most. and i'm righthanded. that said
easiest so far i've found to activate a top firing button is with my finger on the top like that (first pic)
second pic shows me trying to use my thumb but it's pretty akward. bigger hands might find it easier.
3rd pic shows me pushing an imaginary button somewhere on the top front side, which is pretty easy and comfortable also. its also quite comfortable to use my index finger holding it like that to push a top button.
i did stick the drip tip in my mouth as test each time to properly test for comfort
