Title says it. Looking to find an artisan that makes 1.25u blanks.
-
Zero. I've asked around and of the couple of artisans I've talked to there are no plans for them in the future. You become an artisan and make em. I'll buy em. :blank: I've thought about trying to bust out a few of my own, but I don't think I have the patience for the learning curve.

I've thought about making caps, the upfront cost scares me though (would hate to spend a bunch if money only to have no interest)

I can make this!

Im thinking a 1.25 U row 1 - Fett Backpack and blanks.

Didn't BadNews on reddit make a 1.25U cap?
Maybe it was 1.5

Shut your mouth. ;)

I made some. Wait patiently.

1.25 but not blank. Quite nice though. I really like Mr. Shakey Hands.

Why? Would you like to...collect them? :cool:

Similar to this topic, but why are there so few artisan caps in sizes other than 1u? I love stuff like the Spacebears that (I think?) Binge did as well as some of the cool blanks like HKP did, but they are really hard to come by.

Three reasons:
-Resin is expensive
-It takes extra work and planning to make lower profile keys (rather than just sculpting up and making it taller) and most keys 1.5u+ tend to be lower on the board than 1u escape keys
-1.5u+ are mods, and boards vary more in their mods than in their alphas. Even an Ergodox or Planck can use the alphas from any keyset. All of the variation is in the mods. If you're making a key, the less formats that it applies to, the less people that can use it, and the less attractive it becomes to create.

I would like to offer you $3.50 for your body once you die ..

Hmm, that's a lucky coincidence because that's the exact amount of change I need. :cool:

Cuz I only use 1.5u anymore :P

It's not the resin is expensive. It's that there are so many profiles.
If I make it for A someone will want it for B.
I make them on my own and it almost a can of worms I don't want to open.
I'm happy to try and make some but I am not capable to do it all on my own. Plus artisans are meant to be art. Blanks are blanks.
So I will have some made in the next two weeks but I might have just wasted a bunch of money trying.

It's not a very good bargain you've struck this day...

For compatibility you are looking at around 7 different caps (assuming you would want to do something similar to a GMK mod pack) to include most layout for shift, control, alt, and win.
Shift: Standard left, standard right, iso left, shorty right
Bottom row (CTRL, ALT, WIN, Fn, Option, etc): 1.5, 1.25, 1u
