Nice work.  Brass or stainless is the way to go.

Hi. This is the original button with the metal contact. The new ones have an m3 metric thread printed in so I can use a screw and washer for the contact. I plan to get some brass screws before I try the button. If I grind the head of the steel screws down, the surface well eventual oxidise and make a poor contact

Hi. A good friend printed off a couple of starter buttons after mine fell went missing.  Two are printed using a3d filament printer and two from a resin printer. The advantage of the resin printer is the almost injection moulded finish.  I'll fit them next week and report.
