Title: apostle Keycaps Catalog
Post by: apostle on Mon, 15 August 2016, 07:09:57: Hello everyone,
I am a keycap maker from China, nice to meet you for the first time!
The keycaps I have made are not very much so far, but I achieve every work all by myself.
My first work is Alduin, and Rathalos in succession.
Slowly, I’m going to be proficient in making keycaps.
The third piece of work is the metal slug tank and the fourth is the EVA 02 beast.
I have spent the most heart in the newly work named Deathwing.
His eye’s color can customize with light transmission.
His armor also have a good light transmission,
and I set the color have a effect of lava.
The effect of opening the breath light is very good.
It’s an amazing product, I promise. Please appreciate it,
thank you!

How durable are 3D printing caps?
Would like to know this as well.
The dragon, even though it looks cool, also seems like it could be a little brittle.

In my experience it depends on the material used to print them StickyBlueJuice.

Nylon is flexible and seemingly almost indestructible but coarse to the touch whereas Frosted plastic can be fragile if dropped on a hard floor for instance but isn't going to wear down from use or anything like that. Acrylic is very durable and slightly rubbery, and metals I don't have experience with but one would think should be very durable indeed.

3D-printed keycaps would probably enjoy more popularity if they were commonly available in resin, consensus being that it is the ideal artisan keycap material.

Post by: apostle on Fri, 18 November 2016, 06:00:29: hello guys
This is my new keycap. I got the inspiration from the octopus.
In the coloring process, I picked the pattern of the blue-ringed octopus since it is awesome in the anime Terra Formars.
This is the whole story of it.
Next I will try some different color patterns and try to make the blue ring glow.

That is some downright incredible work. Octopi are so graceful and beautiful but strange and alien, and I think you captured that very well.
Title: Re: apostle Keycaps Catalog
Post by: apostle on Fri, 18 November 2016, 19:31:41: Thank you for your comments. Next I will try to make the eyes of the octopus bigger since the original is as small as sand.
Maybe the color of the body can be light pink so that the blue ring will stand out. :D

Octopus keycaps will sale at GH in the near future. For all the other styles including deadwing, Evangelion and Rathalos(Monster hunter series), due to the high risk of damage during international shipping, there's still no plan for sale.

Thanks!

Sorry, my English is no good. The claws are my own design. Consists of eight parts. The palm part is soft and translucent.

Post by: apostle on Mon, 03 July 2017, 07:13:27: My claws and main hats are divided into eight sections, then combined, while maintaining a soft feel, do not lose the appearance of light to keep the effect. And did not go to imitate the works. This is my inspiration for the picture source.
