I've been slowly designing a custom MX stem that fits inside a shell type key cap cover (IBM caps are the perfect example).
I was originally looking to mold these out of some type of plastic, but I know the cost for the mold will probably be pretty high. My other options are 3D printing or possibly making a 2 part silicone mold and using some type of epoxy, however I wonder how well this will work with such a small part. Basically the final product will look like a small cuboid with an MX stem protruding out one side. You can insert it into a shell key cap cover with a dab of glue to make it permanent.
Can anyone suggest a good method to make these?
