Print-in-Place Tactile Keycap Set: Directions, Numbers & Misc Keys

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

I realised that if you flatten the front edge of the keycap and sit up at a 45-degree angle, you should theoretically be able to print it without any supports. Amazingly it worked and didn't fall over during printing (See the pictures of the keycap on the printbed showing the correct orientation for support-free printing). But you may want to print with a raft if you are worried about it falling over.
Always wanted a tactile set of keys for data entry, so designed a set of tactile dice dots for the number pad, and a couple of other miscellaneous tactile keys.
Included step files for the basic, flat keycap. So feel free to remix and add your own tactile patterns, shapes and textures.
