Replacement for the inner part of the iMac G3 power button. The original is made of the same now extremely brittle ABS the rest of the inner case is made out of and will break easily during disassembly.
Since it is made from somewhat small parts you will need a special small .2 nozzle to successfully print it. PETG is also a requirement since PLA will be too fragile at these sizes to flex enough during putting the button into the slot.
The part will still be somewhat breakable so print say 4 at the same time. This will also help with the part cooling
Make sure to print at 100% infill and maybe increase your outlines (I had to up them to 3) to make sure everything is filled.
