Making Your Own Caps
« on: Thu, 21 February 2013, 14:07:31 »
I don't mean to sound naive, but I am interested in perusing creating key caps.

I have a lot of ideas and some money I'd like to invest in creating several of my designs. Does anyone know what steps I can take to bring my goals to fruition?

unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Wow, thanks. Are there any other tutorials on making 3D style such as clacks?

Or how to print designs on them?

I wouldn't mind investing in a good printing machine. I guess I'll have to search more when I get home.

Clacks are single-shot/double-shot/triple-shot injection molded (depending on the color) I believe, Not 3D printed.
