Logitech G915 Keyboard Replacement Feet

Replacement feet for the logitech G915 keyboard (both with and without numpad).

Background:

I printed out riser attachments for the feet so that the keyboard is at around a 20-30 degree incline. This however over time hurt my wrist so i opted to remove them. They were semi-permanently attached, as i hotglued them in place. But i was to lazy to heat it up with e.g. a hair dryer to remove them “safely” without damaging anything. As a result i ripped one of the feet off and broke the little peg that holds it in. Resulting in me spending 20 minutes or so to model new feet.

After a few iterations, where i made the feet to long, so it didn't fit the well. Forgetting to add a space for the protrusions in the back. Not taking into account layer lines for strength. Having it either too stiff, flimsy, thin or de-laminating because i forgot to add a feature.  I managed to make it strong/stiff enough for my liking pun not intended.

This model:

Needs no support, no brim/raft etc. A skirt is recommended for the cleanliness as it gives it a bit more space to purge old filament and start a fresh bead. I printed mine out of Carbon Fiber reinforced PETG, but any stiff plastic should work. NOTE that e.g. using PLA or ABS will result in a more brittle print. That might break when installing it “cold” you might want to heat the part up with a hair dryer or, as odd as it sounds a cup of hot water to give the plastic some give. As otherwise it might shatter. With PETG this is a non issue. Print at 100% infill.

When installing I inserted one side of the foot, then pushed at the free side with the back of a bottle opener (or any blunt tool you can push on) to “squish” it inwards then pop it into place. This took quite a bit of force “cold” hence the recommendation of doing it hot just be wary you don't slip, and injure yourself if you do it my way.

Settings:

100% infill, No support, Cura 5.9 new function Z seam scarf so the Z seam is invisible at 1mm length, no parts cooling ( for my specific filament, but this improves layer adhesion slightly ). Printed at 0.12mm any thicker feels rough, and/or could scuff your table. 

Note:

The 4degree incline feet do NOT fit inside of these, like with other designs. This is by design, as i personally do not use them. I might add a slight bump to the top part when folded shut so it has a small incline by default, or that it acts as “feet” that i can also have as insert with either felt or TPU feet attached. When folded open this bump would hit the back of the keyboard giving me an even higher incline as i feel that the current one is still not satisfactory for me albeit its higher then the stock 8 degrees.

When installing this “mod” or new feet, you might also notice that the bottom edge of the key board will hit your desk. As i have a full desk mousepad it doesn't bother me. But if you have the keyboard on the go or on a e.g. wooden desk i would recommend you to buy some 6mm thick rubber, or print these from TPU and replace the bottom edge rubber feet. This slightly raises the keyboard not scuffing your surface.  I printed mine out of regular plastic. Recommended to scuff up the bottom so that your glue or double sided tape sticks better.
