bad idea to align button on the seam?

[curiousJan]

I'm trying to design my Chucks and with both the images that I have it seems that the button would be best aligned either on or near the image seam ... is this a bad idea?

Has anyone done this or can Jeff lend me a bit of advice, please?

TIA

I believe it would be fine. After the images are applied a clear coat of paint goes over the whole body of the chuck. As long as the seems are aligned properly it should shouldn't matter.

Confirmation?

Someone posted a picture of his a little while ago that had the button on the seam -- it was a baseball themed one. I'm not sure where it is, but I remember that it worked fine.

ETA: Found it!

The image for the one on the bottom was not sized to be wrapped. If your image is sized according to the template that Poeia posted then yours will be completely covered like the top picture. Oh, and the switch doesn't have to be exact opposite of the seam. You can see on my Angels Chuck the bat has the seam down the middle and the switch is just to the right.

I remember that pic lol.

Anyone actually have their button on a seam?

That's much more what I'm asking ... one of the images is MST3K and I'd like the pointing arm to point right at the button, which will put it right on the seam. The other image would be much like the one of the bat ... with the button offset but not directly on the seam.

Thanks guys (and gals)!!

Check this out, there are probably more but this is kinda half on the seam and half not. If this is possible I can imagine that a seam down the middle would be fine.
