Hi all,

I’m restoring an Amstrad MegaPC. I repaired the battery damage, cleaned everything thoroughly, and the machine is running again.

During the work I unfortunately lost the external plastic reset button/cap (the piece you press on the front). I’d like to recreate it for 3D printing, but I need reference data.

If anyone here has a MegaPC with that reset piece intact, could you help with:

- Clear photos from multiple angles (front/side/top/back)
- Measurements in mm (calipers preferred): overall width/height/depth
- Close-up of the mounting / stem / clip geometry (how it attaches in the front panel)
- Ideally a photo next to a ruler or calipers showing the key dimensions
- Any hint if there were different versions of this button across MegaPC revisions

Once I’ve modeled it, I’m happy to share the STL back here (under VOGONS’ posting/attachment licensing terms).

Thanks a lot!
