Update 3/1: WE GOT THE GRAY TROPHY LET'S GOOOOOOO (seriously somehow I've had a lot more trouble getting one of the gray ones than the gold one)

Update 2/16: v2 has been added! This one is a little more stable. Also, now I have a compact version for regular cherry mx keys! This one is just a solid piece unlike the large one.

Compatibility

This is for Cherry MX switches, but it worked on my Coresair mk2 k70 low profile. You may need to widen the slot with some pliers so it fits better.

The compact version works on regular cherry mx keys. The default one is specficially for escape keys with 2+mm clearance on all sides

Printing

Very simple, lots of color changes. The button can actually function as a button if you print the Border tall enough. All you have to do is take the border with ext 7mm, and slice off (7mm-keyTravelDistance)

Example: My keys travel around 3.8 mm, so I slice the extended border 7-3.8=3.2mm from the bottom. 
 

Refer to the 3mfs for how I did the color changes. You do not need to follow the ones I made exactly, I just did what I had to minimize color bleed.

The compact key pieces:

Apology

I know this meme is kind of tired but consider this a historical archive.
