The pushbutton mounts were a problem because they were so large that the screen mount would not fit on the pipe. The most significant waste of space was the ring surrounding the cap. The large footprint was to accommodate the plastic nut, but I could tighten it against the inside of the pipe without a problem. When I changed the nut size to match the button shaft, the footprint immediately shrunk. I printed a copy, but there was an error, and the edges were worryingly fragile. I overhauled the model to make it considerably more rugged. Making it extra thick also meant the button did not protrude as far into the pipe, freeing up interior wire space at the cost of printer resin. I should have made the mounting holes closer together, but the screen mount fits again.

The new model on the right saves internal space and has more clearance for the screen mount
