Test print in petg to see if its good enough for a future dactyl manuform build. Unfortunately it came off the buildplate almost at the end but the texture of the face is quite nice.

i ran the gem_full script and the generated folder is empty

I rewrote the script to work on Windows and added some documentation on how to get going.

Here's the repo

What font did you use on the keys? I'd like to make some of my own custom keys to match some of yours I've printed.

When I try to print the letters onto the keycaps and onto the slicer, it never appears and remains completely blank. Can anyone help me with that? I'm using Orca Sclicer to do it for me.

@ChunYangChan_3744804 click on the object on the right hand side there should be something named object_1_2 delete it and then it will show the letter itself

Printed perfectly and fit like a dream on the Unikeys X BSUN Udon switches I've installed on my Silakka54

how do i make the letters on the side rather than the top?

It looks nice and works with my keyboard but does not work with what I wanted it for.
