Post by: tigersharkdude on Sat, 24 May 2014, 07:22:35: Are these seriously on $4 for the "strong and flexible plastic"?

EDIT: and is just me or is the Iron Man's head facing the wrong direction on the key profile?

Post by: nubbinator on Sun, 25 May 2014, 13:11:58: Have you actually made one and tried it out? Looking at the bottom of the model, it looks like the iron man mask you used will interfere with the switch housing since it sticks through the bottom of the cap a considerable distance.

Yes! That is awesome!

Just watched iron man 3 last night. Love those movies.

Too bad this cap doesn't work.

Post by: tigersharkdude on Sun, 01 June 2014, 17:51:28: From Shapeways "Also, the note on the rejection from production on the iron man head was as follows: “The areas noted in the attached picture are too thin to withstand our manufacturing process without breaking. They are at risk of breaking during the polishing process. All materials specified as dyed or polished are manually cleaned and then submerged in a circular vibratory tumbler full of thousands of ceramic pellets for several hours. Each pellet is approximately 4.5mm wide and 11mm long, and will exert a slight pressure on all sides of your model during polishing. This can cause some wires or walls to break. The larger the model, the thicker the wires and walls must be to support the overall geometry and the pressure around the model during powder removal, as well the weight of the ceramic pellets during polishing. Thickening the areas shown in the picture will decrease the possibility of the model breaking during the polishing cycle. We encourage you to iterate on your design to ensure a quality print.”

I'll post a picture shortly

Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 02 June 2014, 11:07:38: Idk.... while I am not a fan of the iron man key myself.. THIS one is facing UP..

when you look down at the keyboard... you'd be looking at Ironman's chin..

so.... idk...

To begin with, I really don't think -heads- really translate well on the keycaps medium.

"I hate GeekKeys Ironman Key Cap. So Heres a better one."

Feng is a member of this community. While I think we all, including him, can appreciate adverse opinions, this subject line is rather rude. You don't need to bash someone else's artwork to market your own.

Just my two cents.
