Title: What kind of plastic are you guys using to make keycaps?
Post by: nntnam on Sat, 16 June 2012, 12:59:13

I'm trying to make some keycaps of my own, and I use polyester for my first attempt. So, how about you?

I'm set to try some in ABS as I have a friend who knows how to/has the setup to work with that material.

Do you have 3D base meshes for keycaps? I haven't been able to find any.

3D-based as in a mesh made with a program like Blender, 3DS Max, or Maya?
