Features
- Satisfying Action: The custom zigzag spring provides just the right amount of resistance for a tactile press.
- Ergonomic Design: The body includes deep finger grooves and a textured thumb pad for a comfortable, secure grip during use.
- Multi-Color Ready: Designed in separate components, making it incredibly easy to print in different colors even without an AMS.
- Zero Hardware: 100% 3D-printed. No metal springs or screws are required, just print and assemble.
Assembly Tips
- Spring Orientation: Ensure the zigzag spring is seated firmly in the internal track.
- Tolerances: The parts are designed with tight tolerances for a premium feel. If your printer over-extrudes, a light sanding on the lever sides will ensure a smooth "snap."
- Material: PLA is recommended for the body. I have tested a few print builds with PLA
