A simple cup designed to assist the measurement of key actuation force.

To use, ensure the keyboard is level. Place the cup on the key. Fill with small nuts, bolts, or any other objects, until the key just passes the threshold of actuation. Finally, weigh the cup.

Print in any material. The weight of the printed cup does not matter since it's included in the final weight anyway. Note that due to the small surface area of contact with the bed, you may need to use a small brim, depending on the bed adhesion of your chosen material.

The base of the cup measures 15mm x 15mm, which should fit most standard keys. F3D included if you want to edit or remix.
