The keycap model was created by TheSalitestSea and I just modified them to be the same size as the frame1 keycaps (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4755246). Do keep in mind that you might have to modify the stem of the keycap in order to work with your printer. I modified the original model in order to have a tighter fit on the stem because they were a little loose for me, but they might work for you.

I used an spdt on/off/on switch to swap between the two up buttons in order to keep this controller tournament legal. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085ZPD1FM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I followed this guide to fuse the two halves together (I used a soldering iron).

To get a smooth finish, I used bondo to fill up the spot where I fused the parts together and any areas that were warped. After that, I used wet and dry sandpaper(150, 600, 800). Then I put two coats of white spray paint primer and sanded with 600 and 800 grit sandpaper again. Once I was happy with the sanding, I spray painted two coats of light turquoise and let the paint dry for 24 hours. After the paint dried, I sanded one last time with some 2000 grit. Finally, I put two coats of some matte protective coating spray paint to give it a nice matte finish.
