Description

Update: I designed a full keycap set around this XDA profile (1U, 1.5U, … 6.5U): https://makerworld.com/en/models/227441

A simple XDA-style keycap. The top surface is not curved like some XDA caps because printing the curved surface would create ridges.

No supports and no brim needed. Print with the + facing down, and make sure to print with the smallest layer height (0.08mm) and enable ironing for the topmost surface for a smooth finish.

You can use the provided STL file if you wish to include letters or symbols on the keycaps. If using Fusion 360:

Convert the mesh to a solid
Scale the object down with a scale factor of 0.1
Create a new sketch on the top surface and add text.
Align the text to your liking and extrude the text sketch by no more than ~1mm (check the underside after extruding to make sure it did not create a gap through to the bottom from extruding too deep).

Printed with ELEGOO PLA Plus filament (colors black and white).

worked but didn't sound good

Thanks for rating! You could experiment with different filament to get the sound you want, but I've only tried with PLA. Changing the infill pattern could be an option as well. Also depends what materials your keyboard is made of.

Printed nicely in PLA CF! Fits perfectly on standard cherry stem and box stem switches. Not too tight or loose, stays on well and easy to remove when you want to.

@Rubenvaderfett

Can you add some letters?

The designer has replied

@misterryan

Hi, if you'd like to add letters to the keycaps I've included instructions in the description on how you can do it using Fusion 360 or any other CAD software.
