Hi guys,this is first time running IC, i think the design i come up with  have great originality.
In detail:
There are two types of reactors consisted of 11 parts as you can see in the graph.Three wick parts are made of 3D printer and rest are made of CNC, 
The color has not decided yet but here are some choices below
Just a check, Would anyone be interested? Please let me know which color and which type u prefer?
As a lot of people asking the price, now i  consider for type 1, 55, for type 2 consider 60, if having 100+people in, the price will be modified..
Assemble Your KeyCaps
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Refactor Type 1 on the left and type 2 on the right





11 Parts for the Reactor type 1



11 Parts for the Reactor type 2






All the colors for reactor  type 1



As reactor type 2 is really expensive for sample charge i only make 1

[harlw]

Arc is very, very cool.


I'm not sure anyone will be brave enough to display a swastika cap though. 

[absyrd]

Get that swastika **** out of here. I don't care what religion/history you personally link it to. I know it has symbolic ties to much older sources, but some scumbags had to go and **** that up.

[astrafo]

I need to ask. Is that a Nazi swastika or something related with Hinduism/Jainim/Buddhism/Illyrian/Celtic/Slavic/Celts/etc believes?
If it's a nazi swastika you should make a finger mount. You know, to stick it up through your ass.

Update: The swastika keycap has been gone. Maybe this comment has no sense now.

[wangbwhz]

sorry about that, i just feel the symbol is really cool! i have cancel it, no offence

[astrafo]

I have nothing against the symbol. It's just some people that uses it.

[FrostyToast]

I like the reactor.
Though, I am unsure if it will look good alongside keycaps which are square in shape.

[SpAmRaY]

These look expensive.

[HoffmanMyster]

These look expensive.

They do.

Are these cast, 3D printed, injection molded, etc?  Looks cool but is almost too detailed for my keyboards.  )

First time i try ABS material but i find it really difficult to polish the surface, this time i use CNC for the 9 parts and wick is made of 3D printer, the smallest component is a cylinder with 1 mm diameter 1 mm height then i assemble them by myself

[JinDesu]

I would have interest, but likely the cost would be prohibitive enough that I wouldn't be interested in more than one.

[romevi]

This is pretty awesome.
First build-your-own keyboards, now build-your-own keycaps? Color me interested.

[Data]

At first I was like, WTF does this have to do with keyboards?

Then I saw it.

IT'S A KEY CAP HOLY ****.   

Awesome.

[faizerdude]

A very cool idea, if this goes to gb i would pick one or two up. I like the black, red combo.

[Steezus]

Wow these keycaps are very impressive, it looks like a lot of time and effort went into making these.

Have you come up with pricing yet?

[heedpantsnow]

Wow, looks cool!

[neverused]

Really like the looks of these, any estimate on the pricing tiers?

[Zambumon]

They look awesome but also super expensive 

[Glenmael]

Really cool, would also be interested in pricing.

[Elrick]

Get that swastika **** out of here. I don't care what religion/history you personally link it to. I know it has symbolic ties to much older sources, but some scumbags had to go and **** that up.

I've lost family members due to those arseholes in the 1940s BUT if some idiot wants to glorify them on these key-cap designs with their moronic Logo, then let him.  In fact the ONLY real, living Nazi loving scumbags are currently being funded by the US in Kiev, Ukraine and they have been given so much love by Western Media.

Hence you can understand the United States wants to rewrite history for the Nazis and give them their praise for doing what they did.  Unfortunately giving praise to these monsters helps to cement the lunacy that is prevalent within US society as a whole because that type of plague will always attract the worst among people to come and cherish it's horror and sickness, as something "NORMAL" for the 21st century.

Surprising that now we have open support for the Nazi's everywhere yet 20 to 30 years ago you were demonized for ever mentioning them.  Amazing how times have changed when it comes to atrocities committed long ago, so people seem to have forgotten and ignored that vital piece of information when it comes to worshiping these hideous parasites.

In all of this, where are the Jewish people who bore the brunt of their hatred, why are they keeping quiet about this new found fervor for Nazi Glorification ?

[raymogi]

I like Iron Man so I would be interested in this too if it isn't too pricey.

[turboloser]

Oh my goodness, I want these.

Even if the GB falls through I would buy up a few production examples.

[yowaffle]

Interested! but along with most everyone else.. price will play a factor

[trenzafeeds]

Only read the top two comments on the thread then spent like 2 minutes trying to find a hidden swastika in the caps up there before realizing it had already been removed.
That aside, these aren't really my style but it's an interesting approach I never would have thought of, and it's pretty cool.

[wangbwhz]

I'd definitely be interested in buying one of these caps!  If the price went down from 55 at all, then I would be in for sure.  It's not that they're not worth that much, it's just a matter of how much I'm personally willing to spend on caps.  Kudos to you on the design!

[R1N3]

Amazing how times have changed when it comes to atrocities committed long ago

Yeah, it's almost as if American Indians were never completely blown the **** out by Europeans..

Why should we take the time of day to give thought to Native American culture? They're all alcoholic meth addicts, r-right?


I'm interested in this ONLY for the whirling logs. Idgaf what any idiot yelling "b-but National Socialists!" has to say.

[zlittell]

What in the world are you fools babbling on about.

Cool caps none the less.

Way to ruin my Manson family themed board guys.

[Waateva]

$55 and $60 for the caps seems completely reasonable given the amount of work they look like they will take, it's just too much for me personally to spend on one.  They may also be kind of hard to match up on a lot of boards, but either way they are beautiful caps!

Pricing doesn't seem too bad. Like always if timing is right then I'll probably pick up a cap.

I would be interested in both styles if there's a better price

That seems like a decent price range if you can pull it off.

[ntitco1]

I'm interested in 1 for each style  )

[Adrenaline]

I am interested in all of them, can't decide.

[t8c]

Both are very cool. Black or white would be great.

[Kempher]

If you can get this going, I will be in for two =).

[just66in]

I'd be in for 1 each if this goes up. They look great

[JinDesu]

In for #1

[ImBZppl]

Wow that is impressive. Not too interested in iron man stuff but the design is so amazing I'm in for one.

[Carlos_the_turtle]

I'd love a black and red one

[PrpnNightmare]

I would definitely grab one of these! Could make it quite cool on an RGB board!

[Happylomo]

Maan, this is a really cool project! 

[Niomosy]

Those look really cool.  Might be interested in one, though the price certainly would limit it to one max right now.

[Glenmael]

Those look really cool.  Might be interested in one, though the price certainly would limit it to one max right now.

One is greater than zero

[Niomosy]

Indeed.  Cool enough that I might cough up for one but more than that would be a bit rich for my wallet.

[Zanduby]

Those look amazing! While the price suggest so far is a bit higher than I may be able to spend, I think I could make an exception.

[turboloser]

That is reasonably priced.

Totally agreed, I don't understand why so many people are complaining. Perhaps they don't understand the process?

[jshane]

Count me in for interested. Silver and Gold would go great with a custom 60% I'm building.
