3D model description

Kobo Clara power buttons are known to disintegrate even under light use.
I designed and printed this model to replace a broken button for a friend. It fits well and is relatively easy to install. Thankfully, the Kobo Clara back panel can be removed with a fingernail or non-conductive tool such as those used to repair cell phones. I'll link to a 3rd party tutorial on how to remove the back panel and the screen and PCB assembly so that the button can be safely placed into the casing. Also see my attached photos for reference.

This video is not for button replacement, so you only need to open the back, and then remove the four corner screws to take out the entire internal electronic sub-assembly to access power button as shown in my photo. Just reverse steps to reassembly. There are no adhesives to remove - everthing either screws together or snaps into place.
