Love this thread, love this progress.
Very cool!
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying it.
ETF is definitely helpful. keep it up
So far I've been very surprised at how helpful everyone is, its really pretty awesome when you think about it.
Considering it is basically helping competition.
its just a really cool, self supporting community
I wouldn't see it like that, even with all the knowledge there appears to be a lot of skill and luck involved in great sculpting etc.
I like the retro reference here, and the transition from rough to polished, something I'm trying to do myself.
I think though without a pressure pot, the failures may eventually beat me down. I'll end up buying one and the wife will inevitably divorce me for my keycap madness.
Its a balancing act for sure, my wife gets annoyed at times. I try to break up the work though, so sometimes I get most of the evening to work on caps/casting etc and other I don't spend any time casting. That way she gets time together when she wants it, and I still get to work on my hobby. Plus one can sculpt caps while watching tv, so that helps as well.
As for the pressure pot, if you can get one get one they are worth it from a casting perspective. I don't know how Moistgun does it, I would have quit already from frustration if I hadn't acquired one.
Very fast progress!
Thinking about modifying under the Topre caps?
Not sure if you can with the DSA one's since they're so low already but I think you could add some thickness under the Topre & bridge the stem to make it stronger
Thank you!
I'm 100% certain I'll do something to make the stem more reinforced. I'm sure it'll be a stop gap, until I can spend enough time on it to really get something worth while, but we'll cross that bridge when I get there.
On that note, does anyone know how far the travel is on these switches? How deep do the little divots need to be in order for the key to function properly?
Love this thread, love this progress.

I get what you mean. Personally, bubbles aren't nearly as destructive for me as I have seen in others Cases. I'd say try before and if you need it, get it.

I don't know how you do it man, more power to you for making quality caps sans pressure.
