3D printed keycaps
« on: Sun, 27 April 2014, 01:15:25 »
Hi,
I have been fairly new to the Geekhack forum, got interested in making keycaps.
I am wondering if anyone have files for printing a keycap from a 3D printer.
My brother has access to a 3D printer at school and might be able to print some for me.
Thanks.

Don't mean to burst your bubble but just pointing out some facts.

Chances are the detail and tolerances that can be held by a school owned 3d printer are not tight enough for the stem.  The tolerances there from a loose to a to tight fit are ridiculously tight.  Chances are in the range of +/-.001" to +/-.0005".

Not saying that you shouldn't try, just trying to give you a heads up.
