I decieded to 3D print some keycaps. I like Keyboards as a hobby, and if you do too, know it can be expensive. Let me know down in the comments below, would you 3D print your keycaps too?
Thanks for watching!

This was really clear and helpful, thank you! Now I have to figure out what resin printing is 😂

I've considered doing this. If you also printed a sanding "profile" / holder that is the convex version of the key cap top, you could use that to sand them smooth with good consistency. You'd just have to make sure you slice them with a thick ceiling.

Maybe the odd escape with a model or item on top would be fun to print, or even clear TPU could work I will try that!

As it happens just scraped a stack of my GKtwo resin printer build platform. Just have to sand the bottom (supports) and hey presto. Can even do embossing on it with great results.

Maybe using abs and acetone smoothing would work

True! I haven't used ABS yet but that I'd a great idea for easier smoothing

​@@S7Vision I would avoid ABS unless you have a space with good ventilation and no humans around. Even with a filter it is still highly questionable to print it near humans who might breath in the vapors from it. If you really want smoothing you can try something like Prusament PVB which just smooths with IPA (which is also a lot less harmful/easier to handle), is easier to print and not as toxic as ABS printing. You might want to look into a drybox for printing it though. I never used it so I don't know how much of an issue moisture really is for PVB.

What size nozzle did you use? It looks way chunky.

0.4mm but now I have to feel I have to check my cura settings! I did enable ironing and played with some settings if that may affect it. Still learning the 3D printing process

When you are printing small parts, you have to use a small nozzle. 0.2 mm is better. Compare your total size to your print size.

@@S7Vision You really need to have your bed adhesion down though because your layer height will be cut in half. FDM printing small things is difficult. I can see switching to resin for a project like this.
