Make Buttons for 530 kit without labels #498

For kit buyers, 80% (or more) will benefit from labels (OBS, VNAV, FPL etc) embossed on the button itself, as you have done. However, for those of us with Lasers (CNC) it would be cool to have no raised labels on buttons. Please consider this a VERY low priority item (but you can apply the logic to all buttons in all kits).

I print in white, spray paint black, then let the laser do the magic of removing the .3mm of black paint to reveal detailed text.

If you ever want to make an inkscape file with the labeling I'd be down to include this in the project files! Regardless I'll put it in my someday list :) Whoops why'di close it

Actually, I meant the STL button, not a label file. Literally, your tall and short buttons have text on them for the 530 kit, I'm saying leave them as plain buttons.

RE: See your Button_tall.stl etc.
