Some days or i think 2 weeks ago i got the PumpKey from Shapeways! The color is orange, and the level of detail very nice. I would not have thought that 3D printing is that good - you can't compare it of course with a resin cap, but it is not bad at all. Unfortunately the stem is very, very loose. I think i'll add some glue to the stem to make it smaller. Here are two pictures of this gorgeous cap, but i have no backlight switches here, and you'll only see its evil eyes:

I love the top of the cap, the detail of the pumpkin top and the stipe is great:

I'm actually surprised at the detail too. Hopefully 3d printers for home use will be that good of quality in a few years time.

As an update, Massdrop has them again. $5.99+shipping at the lowest price.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/pumpkin-keycap
(You may need to log in to see.)

Can't tell if these are resin or what. Sorry; don't know much about 3D printing.

Awesome!

By chance was the model updated to tighten up around the stem since the last drop?

I hope so, last years drop on Massdrop was a loose sterm drop, I joined the drop last year and got 24 useless pumpkin keycaps.


I joined this drop today on Massdrop and I hope they will fit this time.

Just saw your reply comment romevi,

Must be true...

Anyone think the "saran wrap" trick will work? i.e. take some plastic wrap and stuff the stem to make it tighter, works on SP caps that need costar stabilizers. I bet it would feel mushy :(

There has been a revamp of the design.

While he doesn't specifically state that it's a fix of the stem, let's hope it addresses that particular issue.

The one I painted seem to turn out pretty nicely. I'm a big fan of the design, Matt3o did a great job on it I reckon.  :)

Its a Cherry sampler I bought on eBay romevi.

CoolerMaster just released a similar one that has a Topre switch on it apparently.

Yikes, nearly commented really stupidly on an old post (I was reading this thread in the wrong direction!).
I never realised that you made a wooden version first. That's some amazing prototyping work, it's great to see the final product come together so well.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but if I'm not going to be printing it myself, I'd rather get it at a more discounted price.
Plus I'm willing to wait, since Halloween has already passed

Is there no difference at all between what you get from shapeways and MD? Well besides there probably being options for the material on Shapeways. Has the price difference been big?

Got my 24 orange pumpkins from Massdrop and my 4 pumpkins in 4 different colors from Shapeways today.


No problem with any loose stem.


Edit: 2 pictures of the Pumpkins caps from Shapeways. The orange cap are from Massdrop.

Yeah, if you bought the Pumpkeys by Matt3o's Creations, then you bought the same ones. You get more options from Shapeways, but if you wanted a plain orange one then joining the Massdrop was slightly cheaper.
