@tonyk Thanks for letting me know. I can go in and try to make a rounded version. I'm very obsessive with extremely narrow printing tolerance, I can make a less snug version.
Unfortunately, these didn't work for me:
* printing face down, the elephants foot gave an unpleasant edge to the top face. This might be due to lack of a bevel.
* The slot of the keycap doesn't fit Cherry low profile switches, because its rectangular rather than rounded
* even with Cherry Blues and Akko Vintage white, the foot of the keycap kept gripping the switch housing when pressing down, because the press would push everything every so slightly off center. This results in an unpleasant, choppy feel.
* the tolerance of the slot is a tad to tight, which makes it difficult to put the caps on and especially to take them off again.
I understand that half of the points don't matter if you use other switches with a different stem.
It would not be fair to rate this model. It's great, and might still work for others. I hugely appreciate you releasing it, so I could play with it, calibrate my tolerances and preferred keycap shape. Thank you!
