I rarely have need to print my printer reset button. I have, however, hit it accidentally while doing something like changing filament mid-print, which means bad things for the print. With my new MK3S+ I decided to finally do something about it and remixed the original LCD cover to remove the normal reset button in favor of a recessed one. Any thin tool less than 4mm around and 6mm long (or more) will work to reset the printer, and since I have hex keys sitting next to the printer at all times, I'm not concerned about being unable to reset the printer if needed. (as it is if I need to reset the printer I'll usually do so from Octoprint, up to and including sending an M112 reset with the “Simple Emergency Stop” plugin)

If you hit your reset button more often than you need to reset the printer, this might be useful to you. If not, stick with the stock one.
