I spoke about my button problems in my last episode with the Acorn Archimedes A3010 (Upgrading the RiscOS), and Paul Ledger mentioned in the comments, he'd like to help. After I took some photos and measurements of the broken button, we came up with a peg idea. Paul, cleverly designed it and sent over the files. I 3D printed them out, and came up with what I hope is an easy to follow way, to fix the broken button. (If you've lost your button, Paul has made one of those as well!)
