I tried to reproduce the number row keycap from my Apple Extended keyboard for trying to print with PETG, painting keycaps and making some test.

There is 2 base fusion 360 models that you can change and learn from and 3 STL variations.

  • With the apple with a 0,5mm hole.
  • With the apple with a 0,8mm hole if you want to apply more paint and keep the relief.

Without apple, for a standard keycap. Pros : It work.
Cons : The key seem’s to be more larger, so you can’t have 2 together near and the profile seem’s a little different for the eyes and also for your fingers. But the quality is sufficient at least for me.

I print with support in PLA or PETG without issue. Support are easy to remove.

Please share your makes, especially if you try with SLA printer cause I don’t have one.
