Pseudo Make Me Key Cap Profile

Changes

• DES R2-4 standard and lateral (inner column) compatibility for lofree/choc v2 and mx switches
  • Note: NOT compatible with Gateron KS-33 switches
• decreased keycap height as much as possible
• added fdm parameter: option to chamfer bottom edges for better bed adhesion
• added slicer settings for printing in PLA
• changed homeDot parameter from homing dots to a homing bar

Some of these changes were made for fdm printing. The uploaded stl's contain chamfers. If you want to print using a different method, be sure to change the tolerance values, remove the chamfers, add sprues, etc.

Huge thanks

• to Pseudoku for creating and sharing all of his keycaps and for assisting with debugging.
• to zzeneg for sharing the low profile modifications and for checking ks33 compatibility.
• to wolfwood for sharing the chamfering technique and print setting suggestions.
• to levpopov for the print setting suggestions.

Update from zzeneg

• low profile version - short skirt, bit tighter stems, tested in MJF Nylon (JLCPCB) with KS-33 switches (Gateron Low Profile), probably compatible with other low profiles
• minY version - minimal vertical spacing (19x16mm), tested in MJF Nylon with KS-33 and regular MX switches

What the fork

• scripts to generate CS, DES, and Liminal Chimera keycaps
• sprued stls packs for MJF/SLS printing
• adding 1.25 to 2.25u Choc CS regular and convex caps

How to

• make sure OpenSCAD is up to date.
• unzip libraries.zip into your OpenSCAD libraries
• select keycap you want to render by changing KeyID value
• change KeyID to corresponding Parameter ID
• press F5 to review
• press F6 to render
• press F7 to export as STL
