nubbinator, jdcarpe, got a chance to get those scans done?

Got the files from kbd, I was only off by 100th of a mm on some dimension.

SO the design is done! Woot!

Sorry, the scanner didn't work last night (no compatible drivers for it anywhere), so I was going to try and find another scanner I could use today.  Do you no longer need the scan?

Nope, not needed, thanks anyways.

I will get the latest design plotted and test.

If any members have easy access to a plotter and don't mind testing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

As for switch stickers stabling PCB mounted switches. Would people like two sided adhesive stickers? But, I think that would make opening the switches a big PITA.

Definitely not, because the stickers extend outside the limits of the switch housing, so all that adhesive on the top side would be accumulating dust and dirt.



I should also add that the adhesive on all the stickers I've used is really weak anyway.  It would not make switches more difficult to open, but I stand by the dirt sticking issue.

vinyl sheets in general have adhesive which isn't too strong, this si something I have noticed. Usually it does not leave any residue as well, however on its own it will not peel of as easily. Magic!

As for double sided sticker, that was a brain-fart.

Going to test 3d printing the O version today, I have to find a mac compatible decent cad program first to convert it to .stl/.svg tho

The reason for 3d printing is availability, I don't want to order them online and wait weeks, also plastic could improve the effectiveness of the stickers

Until today, I thought the stickers were mostly aesthetical/placebo based, however I haven't been enjoying the wobble of my keycaps, after a bit of research I realised that these stickers were to reduce the wobble of the switch top, I previously didn't grasp/try to grasp the working principle

Anyway, I would appreciate any advice if anyone else tried 3d printing stickers before, especially sticker height-wise
