This started as a small personal project, and grew into a small business.
All my keycaps are printed are full-colour CMYK Nylon plastic on the ProJet4500 from 3D Systems. If there are any questions feel free to PM me on here, or on reddit, as well as contacting me through my website.
Available in OEM and DSA Profile, MX and Topre Stem

I actually opened up an online store, but I remember reading somewhere something about a post limit before advertising sales. I don't really have high hopes for these caps, because to me its a fun exercise of my skills and a way to improve my CAD abilities.
Most artisans didn't start out wanting to get rich. But I see lots of potential here, since you can make these multicoloured caps what people will pay $35 for but which probably costs $2 or less in materials. I think it's good for everyone to have more supply because only then will prices start coming down.

Hyperfuse would be really nice with the blue and purple. I'll try that next and post the results.

Topre Fn's are always a crowd favorite.

Although there isn't any order form, you can order any cap and leave a note in checkout of what you'd like for colours. Each keycap will be one of a kind.

I requested a custom key to match my Miami set. I think I should also mention that the key will be on the top row.
Post by: Karura on Wed, 20 May 2015, 02:34:13
Would you please consider making keys in Cherry profile? If you could get a reference keyset, the bottom row (R4) and top row (R1) would be quite nice to have!
Just thought I'd mention it, since some of us are really big on matching the profile, and it'd be awesome to have a choice between profiles!

While the packaging was quite cool, it got super squashed in the international post. I ended up having to extract old Megatron by removing shards of the broken glass, as the whole lid was crushed on one side. Luckily he seemed to be unscathed.

That sounds nice. So those who enter the GB will choose which style and color they want? Or will they be made before-hand?
Post by: 27 on Tue, 02 June 2015, 13:12:03
Yeah they'll choose out of the options I give with either DSA or OEM profile for topre or MX. Obviously the megatrqn won't have that option.I'm considering organizing a GB for some set styles, but need to figure out what people like the most

Sounds pretty fair compared to what they're sold for usually, does that include Megatrqn as well? I hope we get a lot of people in on this for the $7 mark.

Is it possible to print legends on your keys in a different color as they are being printed?
Yes it is, but the resolution is fairly low.

Just ordered one of each in Topre on MD! What's the texture like on your HHKB WASD/Fn/Esc keys? Considering putting in an order.
They're grainy like the rest of my caps, but the hexagonal pattern isn't sharp or rough on your fingers.

Hopefully the mass orders doesn't dissuade you from doing more caps!

I'm trying to slowly shift away from made-to-order as my main focus, since I'm off to college next year, and quite likely will move cities.
