Hello everyone!  I've been slowly getting together a groupbuy for some of my custom keycaps http://xx7keycaps.bigcartel.com

I have DSA, OEM, MEGATRQN keycaps available in both Topre and MX stems.  As of now I've selected the four patterns I'll be using.

A couple of pictures to show texture and finish are here http://imgur.com/a/3epuC

I'd love to hear any suggestions you have!  :thumb:

not sure if a extrudet cap is something people are actualy willing to pay for ..

it lacks detail, unless you spend alot time in manualy sanding them .. (not easy if the cap isnt flat)

did you consider SLA and paint or resin cast ?

These aren't extruded. They're printed on a powder bed printer, so they're very smooth even without finishing.  Printed on the ProJet4500 in full-colour nylon.

Agh, I ordered anyway even though no Hyperfuse. If you changed your mind and wanted to do one of mine on Hyperfuse I wouldn't object
I'm back.
