I've been following this site for awhile now, however I finally decided to join today
so this is my first real post.
This is an xda 1U cap that I want to share, I am still designing the final touches, so any input would be great

That is stunning! What alloy is it?
I have a few zinc/pewter? IBM caps from several years ago that have acquired a "patina" that is pretty well impossible to remove.

Thank you I appreciate that you think it looks good.
I haven't made this keycap yet, I am still deciding on what materials and finishes to try out.
Hopefully I will have something made by next month.
