I fell in love with this button sewing weight that I just had to make it. Went a lowes and despite online saying they had 46 2inch washers, they had 2! I didnt want to run around looking for others at different stores so I grabbed some that they had plenty of and re-modeled from scratch the button weights with the proper specs for these different washers.

This model uses the 5/8th inch washers: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-0-625-in-x-Zinc-Plated-Standard-SAE-Flat-Washer/3058565

I partially printed one model (of the original one before I knew they were out D:) and then took it to the store with me to ensure I bought the correct fitting ones (and that my printer had the correct tolerance).

Same as the other model, I set a pause right before the top layer and set the warmed washers (which sit on the bed for a bit) inside before continuing the print.
