Switch blockers for encoder shafts and for covering up unused key slots in your layout. Your milage may vary depending on your switch plate though when it comes to the fit and tolerances for both the switch blockers and encoder blockers. Print at your own risk.

I would recommend printing face down with a skirt.

Tenting leg measurements are rough estimates of length. Sorry. All of the skinny legs (sans the 8mm wide ones) are 9mm wide and 5mm thick, and need M3 6mm screws to fasten. Dust covers from vape cartridges fit nicely over them to keep your keeb neatly in place. If you have no access to said dust covers, thin neoprene strips or Plastidip are nice alternatives.

The knobs come in two different diameters: 20mm and 16mm. The 20mm knobs have a height of 12mm and the 16mm knobs have a height of 14mm. They should fit both D-shaft and spline shaft encoders. I designed these to fit onto 15mm encoders, although any height encoder should work.
