Title: You know what would be absolutly amazing? Cthulhu face F row key caps.
Post by: noisyturtle on Thu, 05 April 2012, 19:34:58: Clickclack, I'm looking at you. I keep throwing money at my screen, but it seems to have no effect.

edit: I did some quick sketches, if there's interest I'll do more. Thinking of a techno and chibi Cthulhu as well. Perhaps a render when this semester's over.

I'd **** your pants if someone did metroid

(nes or snes looking only)

because it's fact that any metroid after super metroid was terrible.

Post by: Daniel Beardsmore on Tue, 10 April 2012, 12:00:40: whoa ....

That thingverse page just crashed my video card!

ATI's driver software reset the card for me.

I think I'll wait for the pretty pictures :)

Post by: rantenki on Tue, 10 April 2012, 13:07:46: So the print worked, but it is too hard to pick out the detail, since those tentacles are only a couple of mm across. I am going to reprint with some better definition by carving out the eyes and tentacles to be over-defined, and also by increasing the head size so it overlaps the key a bit.

The print is actually black, so I'll have to color the face green and then clearcoat a few times.

Post by: Daniel Beardsmore on Wed, 11 April 2012, 12:28:41: Weird – a decal-look pad printed Cherry MX keyboard?

From the size of it it looks like a thumb joystick – like a Texan trackpoint. Actually that would be pretty cool …

Post by: rantenki on Wed, 11 April 2012, 14:43:27: Texan trackpoint..... Challenge accepted!

The decal print is the craptastic stock kinesis ergo keys. I was stunned by the low quality of the keys you get on a $300 board.

Post by: Djuzuh on Thu, 12 April 2012, 10:03:23: It seems he used a 3D printer (maker bot and the such)

Post by: net2522 on Thu, 12 April 2012, 10:12:49: Is this print bot or marker bot sir?
Title: You know what would be absolutly amazing? Cthulhu face F row key caps.
Post by: rantenki on Thu, 12 April 2012, 20:21:11: Neither. It is a printer of my own design, although it uses Marlin firmware and Slic3r skeining software. The printer is here:

Post by: rantenki on Tue, 17 April 2012, 17:51:20: No trackpoint yet. I have to do some more research before I buy one off ebay, and I need to design it into my new keyboard casing.
