Kawasaki horn button While I was working with the Mauldin High School engineering students, one of the seniors, Stefan said that he and his dad were working on an old Kawasaki motorcycle. The button for the horn was broken and they couldn't find a replacement. Using an AutoDesk Cad program, I'm not sure which one, Stefan created a 3d model based on the broken button that they pulled off the bike. We sliced and printed it 3mm black ABS and he took it home, only to find that it didn't quite fit. We took the .stl file he had, and imported into GoogleSketchUp. We made three or four different versions of the button, each with minor dimension and shape differences. He took them home and this one worked perfectly. I'm not sure how long he worked on the original design file, but we spent about 30 minutes tweaking it and another 15 minutes printing them. #Abstract2Actual ca. 2:00
