Cherry MX keycaps on thingiverse

Hey all, just thought I would drop a heads up that thingiverse has a keycap library that I am working on. You can take a (very early) peek here:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:20953
There will eventually be a full set of parametrically generated keys, I just need to get a script together that actually generates them from a spreadsheet rather than having to manually set the design parameters. It's in solidworks, btw.
Cheers;

p.s. The flash really added a sheen. The key doesn't stand out at all from the other keys (other than being cleaner) in person.

Fantastic!
What are you using to print the key? Also, since I do not own solidworks, can you tell me what the volume of material (in c^3) needed for the keys?

There is nearly no material, maybe a couple meters of filament tops. I am using a PLA plastic in a reprap, specifically this one:
