[FEATURE REQUEST]: Indicator Push Button Enhancement #1103

Feature/Enhancement Summary

The pushbuttons used on the RWR Control, Jett Station Select, MasterArm (Fire EXTGH) and ECM DISP seem to have a lot of movement in thems especially rotation on the Y axis.

My idea is to add tabs to the left and right of the pushbuttons actuators to physically prevent them from rotatating on the Y axis.

I have already printed and tested the enchancement and recorded a video to compare the two : https://discord.com/channels/392833351238811648/812086922578362368/1287049555119964224

Screenshots/Images/Files

Be aware that those may files have additionals modification to them (the buttons are one piece so I could 3D print them) PushButtonsEnhancement.zip

Justification

This enhancement would improve OpenHornet by refining the Y-axis movement of the push buttons. By minimizing excess movement in this direction, it creates a more premium tactile experience, making it feel more like the real ones.

There is also too much tolerance between the indicator actuator and the indicator bezel. Currently at 0.4mm, wich adds up to 0.8mm wiggle room left-to-right and up-down. I was able to remove most of the wiggle by reducing the tolerances between the walls (the air gap) to 0.1mm with simple press/pull in F360. 0.1mm tolerance is well within operations limits of modern 3D printers, even with FDM.
