3D-Printed Upholstery Buttons – Sizes, Lace and Assembly

Make your own 3D-printed upholstery buttons in different sizes and colours!

In this video, I show you how to attach the 3D-printed button tops to Astor metal backs with a wire loop. The set includes button tops in 1.5, 2, 3 and 6 cm diameters, plus a special 3 cm design with holes for a lace.

The printed tops have a recess on the back to accommodate the raised profile of the Astor metal backs. You can attach them using contact adhesive or superglue. The video also demonstrates how to thread and secure the lace on the special button design.

Transcript
00:00We designed these upholstery buttons so you can 3D print them in the colour of your choice.
00:05We have made several sizes.
00:07The diameters are 1.5, 2, 3 and 6 centimetres.
00:13We also designed a 3 centimetre button with a lace.
00:17The backs are designed to fit Aster buttons with a wire loop.
00:21They come in three sizes, 24, 28 and 44 lines.
00:27As you can see, there is a recess in the back of each 3D printed button.
00:32This allows the raised profile of the Aster metal back to fit neatly into place.
00:38You can attach the metal back to the printed top using contact adhesive as I show you here.
00:58Make sure both surfaces are thoroughly clean before applying the adhesive.
01:06Steering piece of paper and extend medio.
01:08I am ready to move all that.
01:11I am ready to move all the edges for the printing.
01:52Alternatively, you can use super glue.
01:54Be careful not to get it on your fingers.
01:57If your fingers stick together, follow the glue manufacturer's instructions for removing
02:02it safely.
02:15If you are making the button with the lace, cut the end of the lace at an angle so it
02:20can
02:20pass through the holes in the button.
02:21On the back, trim the lace, fold it over and secure it with super glue.
02:55I'll see you next time.
03:05Use a pin to hold it in place if necessary.
03:28Use a pin to hold it in place if necessary.
03:37I now use a cable tie to demonstrate how strong the bond is on the buttons attached with contact
03:43adhesive.
03:44As you can see, the bond holds firmly.
04:08And just to be thorough, I also test the buttons attached with super glue.
04:12These hold firmly too.
04:15The link to the STL files are in the description and pinned comments.
04:20See you in the next video.
