Keyboard Shield / Mask for Korg Volca FM (and Volca Keys maybe)

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

I found the touch keys on the Korg Volca FM to be very sensitive, making it hard to play chords without accidentally touching unwanted notes.
This shield / mask therefore provides some tactile separation of the touch keys while it's still possible to swipe across multiple keys. It sits in place but you can use duble-sided tape in the areas between the black keys for a more secure attachment.
I designed it to be 1mm high. You can scale it down or up to taste in your slicer (z-direction) if the keys feel too recessed or not recessed enough. The chamfered corners of the whole thing make it possible to print it on 150x150 mm small beds when rotated by 45 degrees.
I suggest using the "ironing" option in Cura which provides a very smooth top surface.
Use a color of your choice to make your Volca more individual :)
Might also fit on Volca Keys.
UPDATE: I made a v2 version which is thinner but has higher and more rounded bumps in between the keys. First photo shows v2, second photo shows v1.
