Hi everybody! Just got into mechanical keyboards after seeing their subreddit pop up all the time with beautiful keyboards. Now I'm obsessing over custom keycaps and planning my first build to include these. I also love creative work and do a bunch of sculpting for fun, so eventually I will try to figure out a way to make myself some custom keys. Not sure how difficult it will be but after seeing those sexy kosmonavts and keykollectiv/omniclectic designs and other custom "enamel" keycaps that are impossible for me to buy, I figure it may be fun for me to take my sculpting hobby and combine it with my new keyboard hobby. And advice or tips/videos would be appreciated!

Welcome to Geekhack!
If you have some sculpting skill, you'd probably only need a :~$ynth (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=78551.0) and some time, and you'd be right!
Sold out at TechKeys at the moment, but coming back into stock in a few weeks: http://techkeys.us/collections/accessories/products/synth
Apart from that, have a browse through making stuff together (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=117.0) where people are making keycaps (amongst other things), and if you have any specific questions, feel free to create a thread :)
