Title: [FS] ceamocaps - Custom Engraved Acrylic Keycaps Protokeys
Post by: MOZ on Tue, 13 August 2013, 22:42:28

########################################################################################
So a lot of creative juices have been flowing for the past month on GeekHack and many members have invented their own keycaps. This got me thinking and I came up with an idea of mine.

Many of you would know that acrylic/vinyl are one of my favorite materials for creating anything, and thus I came up with ceamocaps (Custom Engraved Acrylic mohitgarg keycaps).

These are keycaps made of 4 part acrylic assembly as can be seen below. With a total height of 11mm and 18mmx18mm thick.
(http://i.imgur.com/PNf0RFi.png)

On the prototypes there will be a "P" inscribed on the inside of the yellow piece. Thanks for the idea nubbinator

Now this sales thread is for members to help me get this kickstarted. This is how it will work:
1. You can choose one of the keycap designs below (or custom) and buy it for $3 only, shipping would be $3, and no other charges.
2. After the protoyping is done, and the results are a success, you will get 2 keycaps free of your choice and your prototype shipped to you.
3. If however the experiment fails, well these would just be pieces of acrylic stuck, broken and of no use, if someone wants them, I can them ship to you :p
4. If successful and I make these, they will sell for $3, excluding shipping, you may think that the prototype pledgers get 3 keys for price of one, but they are taking a generous risk.
2. Once all prototype keycaps are sold, I will then invoice you, and you can transfer the money (Only price of keycaps not shipping, that I will get only if experiment is successful) to my account.

IF the experiment fails, you will not get refund for your investment. I will post proof of what happened and obviously try my best that nothing goes wrong.

As these are prototypes, you will see each design is unique and different in some way as far as construction goes, reason is to try and find the optimal solution. In the prototypes, all designs would be made on 4mm clear acrylic and required adjustments made.

In the below keys, you will notice three colors:
Blue - Engraved area (Slightly recessed and translucent white on clear acrylic)
Green - Laser marked lines (The laser cuts through only half the thickness of the acrylic)
Red - Laser cut along these lines.
(http://i.imgur.com/VBC0ps6.png)

I will only be taking requests for the designs in the above matrix, and there is only one of each as this is a prototype, and each design was taken and modified for acrylic production bearing something specific in mind and testing various things.

You can order as many keycaps as you want as long as they are not taken. I can fit about 20 caps in one $3 package.

REPEAT: IF the experiment fails, you will not get refund for your investment. I will post proof of what happened and obviously try my best that nothing goes wrong.

DISCLAIMER: None of the designs are mine and below to respective parties. I am not making any money of these keycaps, these are all prototypes and the money is going for production for such small quantities. The final product will only have the designs you want and you won't have to worry about the copyrights as they will be for your personal use. The CC Skull is not for sale and is only meant for testing edge to edge designs. As for the hapter, I am still waiting approval from litster, until then it is out of bounds as well.

*********************************************************************************
Order Status
*********************************************************************************
Here is the link to confirm you orders and see order status: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0ApXIrLtiUwFVdFdpMHItQTdqYWdnNDlFdW5hcGdHMnc&single=true&gid=0&output=html

Let me know if there is a discrepancy. There are a number orders where members have ordered something for someone else.
If:
1. Next to your name you can see the name of the cap and gift written, it means someone has gifted that keycap(s) to you.
2. See only gift written, it means someone is gifting you a mystery key
3. If it says, secret cap, then it is a design they do not want to reveal.

REPEAT: IF the experiment fails, you will not get refund for your investment. I will post proof of what happened and obviously try my best that nothing goes wrong.

I'm not sure what everyone else thinks but I don't think it's very cool that you're knocking off the Clack skull design. I know it's a different method entirely but still, doesn't seem right. If you've cleared it with him then fair enough.

Please confirm what design you want and  I will reserve it for you.

As for the CC Skull is  was never up for sale, a mistake  on my part when putting the designs up. It is to test edge to edge design, only for testing, not for sale.

As for the hapster I was unaware it was copyright by litster. I shall ask him for permission.

Alright, then for confirmation, I'm taking the blue on white imperial cog since I can't take both.

Edit:  You said you can do multiples, I'll grab the bottom right stormtrooper as well.

Cool, I am interested.

Some questions:

Does the shipping cost apply to international people too?

Is there a limit on this "kickstart" deal? i.e. Could someone order 2 keycaps, ending up with 6 total?
 
Also in that case, would there be a discount on shipping?

Acrylic keycaps are coming. As much as I want a direwolf cap I think the empire logo on the first row will translate to acrylic better so I'm in for that.

The Star Wars one is a copy of the empire logo. Just because someone got it on a brass cap doesn't mean no one can have it on any cap now.

Still what?  George Lucas has made enough money, as has Disney.  The other designs people are talking about are ones created by community members.  I think it's fair to say to not touch those designs without permission.

I wonder if you can make this process cheap and mass produce enough to make acrylic doubleshot keycaps. They might be more lasting than ABS and be usable on illuminated keyboards to boot.

$3 per key is dirt cheap for custom keycaps, but ultra expensive/ unaffordable if buying 104 for use on a keyboard.

Shipping cost applies to international orders, yes.
There is no limit and yes, if you get two prototypes, you can get 4 free later if this works out.

Please confirm what design you want and  I will reserve it for you.

The awesome/epic face was started by Pokemopolis, not Keypop, they were just the first (?) to put it on a keycap.

These are not double shot, they are cut/etched from acrylic sheets, and then stuck using solvent.

11mm high, 1mm gap between base of stem and base of side walls.

And for everyone complaining about Copyright, I have made my intentions clear, and apologised to ClickCLack for the confusion as well as PMed litster for permission regarding the hapster key.

Putting this here for those who missed out on the OP:

I think it would be best if you made the height 1cm and the gap 2mm. Or.. made the height 9mm and made the gap 1mm.

My brass cap was 1cm with no gap.. It's a little too high to match well with Cherry profile keycaps. Not sure about OEM.

If these two agree to these, then there would be 9 slots left, choose whatever you want, one of the ones done already or a custom, as I would like to complete 1sq feet of acrylic

Need one with less detail, as keycaps will be 18mmx18mm, design should be about 14-15mm.

Just tell me the design or choose one of the one sin the OP, there are 7 slots available.

I have a special pair for mkawa, if anyone is genuinely interested in gifting it to him, PM me.

Well this sucks.  8th person to respond and I don't get a spot because it wasn't made clear that we needed to reserve specific designs.  Oh well I guess.  Congrats to all those who got in, this is a really interesting project and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.   :thumb:

Please confirm what design you want and  I will reserve it for you.

It sucks, but think of it this way:  Best case, you just saved yourself some money since for all we know, it could fail.  Worst case, you have to spend $6 more dollars on two keycaps.

I posted and then went to bed, nothing I could do.  And I did specify interest in a Star Wars cap.  So there's that.  Plus, people have reserved multiples, so maybe I was saying I wanted to reserve every Star Wars cap?  Just sayin.  But beyond this, I'm done discussing it, it's over and done with - I've made my point and I'm not here to threadcrap.

Once again, I wish this project all the best, it's a very interesting project and I hope it turns out well.  Custom acrylic caps should be a huge hit around here.  :)

I realized some of my friends across a few oceans missed out, due to the day-night time difference, hence I will open this up for a limited numbers more. Also doing this so that the acrylic sheet is better accommodated.

Good news is, thanks to this awesome community, who are willing to throw money at a noob like me, the numbers were great so far, thus the prototype will now use the exact same dimensions as the final planned keycap, not just 4mm. And if for the final numbers are good, we could have colored top layers as well!!! Yipee!

Exact number of open slots will be declared soon enough. Get your ideas ready! :)

So, here we go, final 5 slots for grabs. I am not going to allow those that have already placed an order to place more if you want to drop some, fine by me, but no more adding to what you already have ordered. I don't want to risk any more money, than what has already been placed.

So, final five!!!

Here is the link to confirm you orders: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApXIrLtiUwFVdFdpMHItQTdqYWdnNDlFdW5hcGdHMnc&usp=sharing

Let me know if there is a discrepancy. There are a number orders where members have ordered something for someone else.
If:
1. Next to your name you can see the name of the cap and gift written, it means someone has gifted that keycap(s) to you.
2. See only gift written, it means someone is gifting you a mystery key
3. If it says, secret cap, then it is a design they do not want to reveal.

I don't think the garbage bag bunny beats the ice cream cone thing.  I mean its like junk food that has smoke coming out of it and the two faces are obviously high.  One of them cant even open his eyes, and the other has the munchies.  Not to mention the blunt sitting ontop of his ear.

Just because a company doesn't make something that you wish they would, doesn't allow you to copy their logo/intellectual property, and sell it for your own profit. They are entitled to any profits. Is this really that difficult to understand? It's the same reason why SP/etc doesn't make Starcraft keycaps.

Even Qwerkeys is making some Megaman, Pacman, and other such caps, I believe this is a *norm* here as long as we don't step on each other's toes, such as CC, hapster.

Those are the UV printed caps I'm running the group buy on.

Yeah.  It would just be something nice for the early backers who are being the guinea pigs.

Yes! Ridiculous right?

I don't think the garbage bag bunny beats the ice cream cone thing.  I mean its like junk food that has smoke coming out of it and the two faces are obviously high.  One of them cant even open his eyes, and the other has the munchies.  Not to mention the blunt sitting ontop of his ear.

Please confirm what design you want and  I will reserve it for you.

As for the CC Skull is  was never up for sale, a mistake  on my part when putting the designs up. It is to test edge to edge design, only for testing, not for sale.

As for the hapster I was unaware it was copyright by litster. I shall ask him for permission.

Alright, then for confirmation, I'm taking the blue on white imperial cog since I can't take both.

Edit:  You said you can do multiples, I'll grab the bottom right stormtrooper as well.

Can I get one of those imperial cogs that you are least interested in?

There are no more available keycaps, if someone gives up their slot, then you can have that keycap if it is one of the keycaps from the originals, if it is custom you can choose yourself. All this is only if someone gives you their slot.

In all honesty, it should work out, my only concerns at the moment, are the finishing of the joints (I will be chemically welding them).

I made a alpha, a couple of days back, just to test how each part fit, the design was corrected according to that, and let's await the results of this experiment.

My PayPal has been activated so I can now invoice, I am ready for that. I'll be creating a Order Form today, so once I get an idea of how long shipping takes from my place, I'll start sending out the invoices.

MOZ any link so I can  have an idea how they will look like more or less, the idea looks nice but any sample would be really helpful, thanks.

Nothing at the moment kind sir, the idea is in place, I got certain parts made around a week or so back (Before starting the this thread); however not the complete keycap. I got samples of the mounting (Blue), the side walls (Green), the inner support (Yellow), and the top acrylic (Red). There were certain issues:
1. I was an ass and forgot the tops at the shop
2. I hadn't accounted for the small crevice thickness created by the laser and thus the inner support and mounting were not a perfect fit, and same goes for the inner support and walls. I got measurements and have thus made corrections to the design, there is now .1mm allowance along each contact surface for the crevice. Meaning the mounting is 5.2mm long, then the cutout for it in the inner support would be 5mm.

Based on these easily reversible errors, fact that the mounting fit nearly perfect, the side wall at 1mm thickness were pretty sturdy, yet I increase them to 1.5mm thickness; I felt this was worth doing.

You can see how the etching would be like here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44182.msg929989#msg929989

I'll post pictures of the different parts later tonight.
Title: Re: [FS] ceamocaps - Custom Engraved Acrylic Keycaps Protokeys
Post by: MOZ on Fri, 16 August 2013, 10:44:47
Please excuse the bad pictures, I only own a phone-cam.

The parts. These were made before this thread was created, these and the testing of the GH 6th Anniv. KeyChain were done together. Height and colors ar ejust what the laser cutter had lieing around:
(http://i.imgur.com/AN1UHzr.jpg)

First the mounting:
(http://i.imgur.com/Ku0GBN6.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/kNivgUE.jpg)
As you can see the outer fit is nice, thus i have only increased the width by .2mm. Also reduced the thickness of the arms of the + by .1mm. You can also see how the crevice turn out (G.Ming is not etched but marked with a half-cut outline)

The gap between the mounting and inner support. I have redued the dimensions of the cutout to compensate for the thickness of the laser beam:
(http://i.imgur.com/AkBZLa8.jpg)

The gap between the wall and inner support. I have expanded/reduced the edges where they meet to compensate for the thickness of the laser beam:
(http://i.imgur.com/naPhLRv.jpg)

Comparison of wall width and keycap outer dimensions. Key was slightly smaller than I expected, thus I have increased the size and also made the inner walls 1.5mm:
(http://i.imgur.com/xd4PQoy.jpg)

Finally some pictures of how the etching looks. You can see that wherever the acrylic is etched, it is recessed:

Just promise us that if you run into difficulties during the production process, you'll take a deep breath and step away for a bit, rather than smashing anything in frustration.

Really, my instinct is to cancel, but since the investment is relatively low, I'll give you a chance to see the prototype project through.

I do have a temper problem, I agree and I know, but the outburst is more like once a year, when everything just builds up and then I vent like crazy. :P

Since other people's money is involved, I won't go crazy. And honestly, had yesterday's drama occurred after I had received payments, first thing I would have done in anger, would have gone to PayPal and smashed the refund button.

Once it reaches them, I will invoice everybody.

And spamray, once this is successful, no, I will not get a vendor forum, as I am not looking to make money out of this, any extra money I make, I will declare and that would only be for my time.

I'll have this as a GB, a fixed time frame and then done, maybe do another id there is demand and I have time. Since getting one key cut in acrylic is not feasible when getting it done from a machinist and you don't have one at work, so this is going by the GB model. If the mods/admins feel differently, they can give me a vendor forum, I'll still be running it the same way.

I don't see myself making money of these in the long run as well, more to provide a service, there is hardly anything we from my part of the word have given to this forum, hopefully I can provide a little.

I don't think so, there is an example of what some of the work might look like in the geek hack 6th anniversary key chain thread
similar technique, but personally I am rather excited to not know what it will look like so when I see mine in person I can be extra surprised!

No there isn't so far and that is what the project is about, if I had prototypes done, I would have gone straight for a GB, these are generous people investing in my adventure blindly.

I did post picture of some parts I got made and corrections that have to be done, I will once again first get some more sample of how the 4 parts fit together. If that is good, then the visual outcome of the keycap is semi-subjective, some might like it some might not.

I didn't set a deadline for the exact reason domo has mentioned, I am in no position to be harsh or point a finger at those investing into this venture, albeit, I would liek to mention, that this isn't a donation as such, it is more of a investment, if it turns out well, you save $6 on each keycap you ordered this round, if it fails, you lose $3, so it is more of a venture :D

All said and done, I am still greatful and thankful to all those that participated given how new I am on the forum, my short tempered drama thinf and investing blindly.

All payments received.

And I got the laser work done.

This is raw from the laser, I haven't fused any of the layers or got the top layer polished. Polishing will be done after the fusing is done.

They'll be fused using chloroform.

Guys, I need feedback, do you think they keycaps would look better with white etched portion being more clear (At the moment it is completely white).

I'll post a picture of what I mean.

3 that I finished.

I am still testing out the color on the etching. It will be hard to maintain the white, since the choloroform used while fusing tends to seep and cause some parts to lose the white. Still, if it doesn't, over time with finger oils, and natural wear, the white would fade off as it is nothing but the residual powder from the laser etching.

I think the more clear option looks a little cleaner.  It gives off a different reflection when backlit and you can see the design better (or it may just be the picture).  It is hard to tell that the middle one is bunny's avatar.

OOHHH

I was trying to figure it out. Looked like a zergling or something. It's totally BL.

That being said, I like the "Frosted" look a thousand times better than the white.

I do not operate the laser directly, but, from the settings that I did see, I think the one that pertains to the scan lines is the DPI? Correct me if wrong. And the setting that was used was 280, how much would you suggest?

Dear Moz,

You can made with new logo on your cap that you created but we are not agree if you used CC skull 's logo, Smile logo from DangWang, Gasmask from Gasmask factory and other logo from other creator ....... It's genuine by CC, Gasmask ..... and infect in value of each genuine.

Exemple: If you pay 500$ for Translucent Skull by Click Clark on GH market, are you accept other guy who made replicate and sale it on GH market ?????????

i don't want thread crapping but it's concern with all GH's member who want and have collection Skulls same as Tsangan, Boots, Ethos, JCrouse, Turbo Slaab, Jil_Jil32 ....... and included myseft.

You can made if you had all permet from each Creators ( Click Clack, Gasmask ......)

It was cleared earlier that the Skull is not for sale and is one I mad for myself. Same goes for the hapster, which litster will decide after seeing the final product if he wants to allow production of these.

Further slightly bad news, my guy's polishing dude has backed out, since polishing these is a PITA due to the small size.

I have gotten him to look for a new polishing person. I will keep you guys up-to-date. Sorry for the delay, however ti is a good thing that this is happening in the protoype face, so we can iron out the kinks for the actual GB later.

Thanks for your patience!

New update and good news, my guy has agreed to get them polished along with the keychains, so that should be complete by next weekend.

If you placed an order for the GH keychain, I will send you ceamocaps (The prototypes) with it, unless you tell me not to and want the second batch of ceamocaps (Which will still be some time as the GB hasn't even begun) and the prototype ceamocaps and keychain all sent later.
Title: Re: [FS] ceamocaps - Custom Engraved Acrylic Keycaps Protokeys
Post by: MOZ on Tue, 08 October 2013, 05:04:53
The ceamocaps have been sent for polishing.

I would day these were somewhat a success with some needed changes, which I have noted.

Now since these are custom designed, if we have a GB for this, it will be longer than my usual GB because of individual designs, so I have decided to ship all the ceamocaps that were ordered for the prototyping and send them out.

Those that ordered a GH 6th anniv. keychain will get their ceamocap with that order and these people are:
acantha
asdfjkl36
Badwrench
BunnyLake
fydo
Halverson
HoffmanMyster
infiniti
jonathanyu
lcs
mkawa
MTManiac
Sent
SpamRay
Wildcard
XenderWind
XmagusX


Those that didn't order a keychain, I will ship the ceamocaps to you. I won't charge anything for shipping at the moment, and when the actual GB happens, I will invoice you for the shipping with your order then, if you decide you don't want any more ceamocaps, it is okay, since I paid for shipping this time, so they cancel out :D. These people are:
artichoke
elton5354
luciferburch
germy
iAmAhab
Techno Trousers
tobr1an
Tym
nubbinator

All that said and done, I will most likely have the GB start at the end of this month, once most people from this round get their ceamocaps, the keychains are shipped, the TVS-e Gold's are shipped and the sticker GB enters production phase. Thus less wait on my shoulders. :)

The GB would be up for ordering for two months or so up until next year.

MOZ were these ever shipped? I still never received mine.

I don't believe MOZ shipped anything yet.

Taking these to the post office:

Gosh Moz, why don't you get your **** together already and stop travelling the world.  Give up all other responsibilities and become Geekhack's *****.  You know you want to.

Not travelling the world :(, just visiting parents.

@ray, no hard feeling bro, what I meant was having to tell members every other week in some thread or another, about shipping delays, I have a damn thread for it :P Thanks for letting people know I am not a cheat ;)

All but xmagusx's ceamocaps were shipped, yours will be shipped along with the keychain (It might have already, I will have to go through the shipping receipts).

If anyone wants the tracking details, please let me know, I'd like to let you know however that tracking is wonky, sometimes it is for detailed, other times it is not, so it's a hit and a miss really.

No worries. If you can let me know when it's gone out, that's groovy, but I know you're swamped right, so no need to make it any kind of priority. I trust that you'll make sure it all gets to me.

Anyone who's received them -- how do they look backlit?

photographs, please!

At the price of $3 they're competitive with imsto dyesubs. Would certainly like to see if Moz can find any way to make them cheaper. If we can produce lettered keycaps in mass at $1.50 or less, I think this would be an excellent groupbuy.

well, at least now that we have some information, maybe somebody will want to do it again in future. maybe even Imsto or Vortex. Heh, everytime someone in China starts, prices will drop.

This is very different from other keycap production methods. Generally it involves injection molding. This is totally different.

I actually live how these came out

They look way better in person when backlit

The one on the esc is actually my least favorite and my favorite is the thundercats 

Overall, I'm happy with the product, sad no more will be made. Secretly happy since no one else have these  >:D

Thanks Moz!  :D
