I'm sure there's been some topic on this already but I'll ask it again: who the hell pays $10 for a 3d printed potato cap?

I always wonder the same thing about most 3D printed caps.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

lol I think the potato keycap is meant to be funny.  Kind of like the sadster keycap.

Though this is very nice for a 3D printed keycap:  https://www.massdrop.com/buy/pumpkin-keycap?mode=guest_open

It's a nice keycap to look at, but it fits so loose on the stem. I lost it for that reason :(

Won't be buying it again. Really more for the lolz. Oh well.

I got 24 pumpkin keycaps from Massdrop and they are lookin good.

But I can't use them on my k-board, they don't fit on the stem, they are very loose.

Yes, from "Esc to Pause" + the last 4 keys to the right (have some 108/109 k-boards, 2 109 keys ISO/Nordic layout Ducky Shine 2, 2 108 keys ANSI/US layout Ducky Shine 3 + some 109 keys ISO/Nordic layout Shine 3  and 1 108 keys ANSI/US layout Shine 4 69 ).
