Nice. It looks translucent. What does it look like when backlit?
Aww, it's so cute :D
A green pipe key would be pretty cool too.
3D printed? Cool :cool:
Cute star! :) Will you be designing the other mario caps as seen in your render?
3D printed? Cool :cool:
Yep! And the paint I used was glass stain, if anyone was wondering.

Shapeways I presume? What kind of plastic?

UV-cured acrylic polymer
That will look awesome on my keyboard
Nice. Those UV 3D printers are awesome. Too bad the design wouldn't translate well to casting without a multi-part mold.

Yea, it would be cool if we could make these for cheaper.

:eek: How much did it cost?
it seems really good
how about another one with the turtle shell?
Would it be possible to add the Venus fly trap flower thing on the green pipe? :oI can do that I would think... that'd be some meticulous painting on my part, though. :3
wow that is awesome. good job dude. now just to figure out how to make it cheaply and then group buy?
I might sell them, but I haven't really thought about it yet.

Well, now that you've got everybody excited, you can't just leave them hanging!
I am not a Cherry user (although I would consider getting one for my son if they weren't too much) but many people are.
You can give them away at cost, or charge top dollar and position them as hard-to-get desirable specialty art items.
Certain people pay silly money for this stuff, I say charge a lot and make some money!

I agree I would happy more than happily pay for this plus the time you put into it as they are super awesome, also that keyset that is a great keyset would love to have that >_>
But again great work, will we see a ? Block soon O: that would be cool or Yoshi Egg or a Boo key Boo key :D
Okay I will stop rambling bye!
and I'd welcome ideas
I could easily make a Topre model, as well, I'd just need to get my hands on a Topre keycap. (I don't have any, sad to say).
The mystery block, brick block and mario are all three in production. I opted to get Mario gold plated, so that one takes quite a bit longer. I have a ton of other ideas as well, and I'd welcome ideas (as you've all shared).
I'm kind of excited about the brick block because the paint color doesn't exist for what I want, so I get to do some mixing. Experimenting is fun!
Also, my modded Poker II just arrived, so I'll have an LED pic up tonight (unless the person who soldered my PCB ruined it, in which case I will cry a lot).
Uh.... I guess I could do an interest check to see how interested people would be in me selling them in small quantities...

and I'd welcome ideas
There are far more Cherry and Topre users out there who are proven to spend a lot more money, but buckling spring and Alps users are bereft of most choices and would probably be more grateful.
Escape and arrow key alternatives are probably the most obvious choices for custom keys.

And some buckling spring versions too? For the Model M/F fans?

If I can get my hands on a key, I can make a 3-D model and see how it prints. ^-^

I think it might need to be more orange. :-[ --- Or put on a yellow LED.
How do I get one?! D:
you may try to combine more caps together in the same model (using junctions) to try to slightly reduce pricing
