Cthulhu KeyCaps?
« on: Wed, 16 January 2013, 21:50:55 »
Was just wondering if anyone knew whether these Cthulhu KeyCaps ever actually made it into production?

Was that one done on a cheap 3D printer?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yeah I think so, would be interesting if I could get the file. A friend of mine owns a 3D printer (I think he still has it, at least) and I would love to try it out for KeyCaps. ABS for sure.

that looks to be .1mm accuracy on a normal extruder based 3D printer, those printers range from $500 to $2500 (or at least the few i've looked at)

Some ways to improve accuracy would be to use the UV reactive material, those get pretty good resolution, and cost $500 to $2300 up, but the material to print is super expensive (I can't find exacts) but a decent UV printer can get layer accuracy of .025.

One thing that could be done to finish the part, would be to run it through an "acetone-steam-bath" type thing, that would give it a nice smooth glossy finish :)

I'm trying to find a really good reason to get a 3d printer... Anyone could help?

They look so impractical to use, but still great
