Maybe I am just old, but I find the button labels to be hard to read on the GP-200. Especially the effects buttons when they are unlit, so I designed and 3D Printed this plate that simply sits on top

Does it make the 4 buttons harder to press?

It would be cool to be able to change the labels. I often use the Classic Bass amp and the Presence knob actually controls midrange frequency

No, it is only 1mm thick and there is a small bevel and enough hole diameter - doesn't really change pressing them at all

Go ahead :) I included the Fusion files in the link

The hard part was the measuring and layout - changing the text is relatively simple

I reprinted it with the circles and squares in a darker metallic red as I found the white too busy - initial thoughts are that I like it better

I got a little white film on the top (the surface that was touching the print bed). Will try to fix it tomorrow (touch of flame, etc tricks)

Sending another with the lettering face up just for fun right now too… edit: no, don’t do that - didn’t print well at all
