Hi, I've just completed the main build of my first mechanical keyboard, and ergdox from kit parts.
As I was "sensible" and chose Matias switches, I then found myself unable to easily get DSA keycaps in the UK for this switch stem, and that of course sent me off down the path of:
* yes I will have to cut my own case with different holes,
* of course I could just 3D print some keycaps,
* well yes a fully parametric CAD model because then I get 1S, 1SD, 1.5S and 2S,
* well the prints of the Ultimaker work, but you can see & feel the layers on them,
* if I could just find the right process/legend/finish combination, I could make an entire set with no minimum order in any combination of keytypes,
* maybe SLA printing would work, lets try shapeways…
I'm kind of expecting that this path is never ending though!
