KLP Lamé — Kailh Choc & MX Keycaps

Sculpted and curved keycaps for Kailh Choc and MX switches. Here is a project structure:

Folder	Description
Assets	Various images and actual photos of keycaps
Blender	Blender files for preview image render
Fusion 360	Source files for Autodesk Fusion 360
Production	Combined STL 3D models suitable for 3D-Printing services (like JLC3DP)
STEP	3D models in STEP format for any CAD or Slicer software
STL	3D models in STL format for any CAD or Slicer software

STEP and STL folders contain all combinations of Choc/MX Stem + Choc/MX Size.

There is also 90 deg Rotated variants for Choc Stem.

There are currently 7 variants of 1U keycaps:

Variant	Description
Normal	Just a flat keycap profile with a small recess, that is soothing for fingers
Normal Tilted	Same as Normal, but top profile has a 15° tilt and 0.5mm upward height compensation
Normal Homing	Has three little bumps that is useful to determine home positions
Thumb	Same as Normal, but top profile has a cut along down side
Saddle	Same as Thumb, but top profile has two symmetrical cuts
Saddle Tilted	Tilted version of Saddle. Same 15° and height compensation
Saddle Homing	Has three little bumps that is useful to determine home positions

And also 5 variants of 1.5U keycaps:

Variant	Description
Normal	Just a flat keycap profile with a small recess, that is soothing for fingers
Thumb H	1.5U variant of Thumb. Horizontal
Thumb V	1.5U variant of Thumb. Vertical (stem is rotated)
Saddle H	1.5U variant of Saddle. Horizontal
Saddle V	1.5U variant of Saddle. Vertical (stem is rotated)

What keycaps do I need for my keyboard?

First, you should choose Choc/MX stem (depends of your switches)
Second, choose Choc/MX size that is suitable for your keyboard.
Then, pick what keycap variants you want for your columns/rows/thumbs. It depends entirely of your choice.

For corne-like keyboards with 36-keys I use:

Amount	Kind	Purpose
20	Saddle Tilted	For top and bottom rows
16	Saddle	For home row + 6 for thumbs

Amount	Kind	Purpose
20	Normal Tilted	For top and bottom rows
10	Normal	For home row
6	Thumb	For thumbs

How to print?

It is best to position the model more vertically to avoid tactile layer-to-layer bumps. Personally, I use 45° or 75° angle, but it's up to you.

Production folder contains files that you can use in any 3D-printing service like JLC3DP or PCBWay. You can download them directly using links below:
