Limaro Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi, I am currently (trying) building different things for the F/A 18C. The main challenge I had so far, was to find appropriate buttons. Like for the A/G and A/A button or from the UFC (and many others). I only found few different with the properties "squared, or rectangle, LED". On some photos (example Link) I see some kind of base frame of buttons, having LED inside. Then the rest is 3d printed I have no 3d printer yet. but also I did not find this kind of basic/naked button. Where can I get these? thanks in advance!
