Making custom 3d printed keycaps
I am currently working on making custom keycaps with 3d printing by making the stem with the legend already extruded onto it and printing the keytop with holes to house it. I am trying to match the paint of the pebble color with the paints I have on hand and I think I finally found it (original on the left painted on the right). Has anyone attempted something similar in the past?
update 1: 3d printing the stem part does not seem to work very well, I am now trying to make the keytops in two parts to avoid having to print it, as soon as I can I'll post a picture with the result as well as the files if anyone wishes to print them as well
update 2: This project appear to bee way to complicated considering how thin the pieces end up being so I'll probably put it on hold and work on it when I'll have more time, if anyone wants to pick it up I'll gladly send you everything
update 3: It bugged me so much that I spent way more time that I needed to in order make something that will work, even if it'll be a bit of a pain to paint, basically it will be a regular keytop but with the legend very slightly etched into it to make it easier to paint, you can find a picture of the first test key model in the comments since I cannot add it here. When I'll find the best depth to use for the etching I'll upload the model on printables
