Glyphed cherry mx keycap

These were the best key caps I found on Thingiverse for my wants and needs - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:738769 - By ohagel

They fit my Corsair Cherry MX Rapidfire K70 like a glove, but I wanted to sometimes be able to check which key I was pressing.

I used Tinkercad to emboss the Glyhp for each key on individually. I also reduced the Z down to 78.2 as per the original creators suggestions.

I haven't printed them all, but the number and function keys look great so far.

**also I have no clue how to make the larger shaped keys like Enter/Shift etc...

Print Settings

Printer:

Tiertime UPbox+

Rafts:

Doesn't Matter

Supports:

No

Resolution:

0.05

Infill:

100%

Notes:

I am using my UPbox+ with a perforated board, so I have to use a raft. I have however, managed to print similar items with a glass bed face down for a shiny smooth surface, so go with what you feel.

If you print face down, no supports are needed. If you print face Up, you may need supports, though my printer bridges like a champ.

I would also suggest using a semi-transparent filament. I have used 3dFillies 'Lithophane White' which gives it a sort of milky glow.
